One of the nice things about
Outlook Express, is that you can have as many different mailboxes
(accounts) as you wish. Everything is checked with one click
of
the send and receive icon. If you have a lot
of different e-mail address, even on other servers, this is the best mail
system to use. Also the e-mail program is separate from the IE 4.0
Internet Explorer so you can check your e-mail without having to
go through your internet browser.
| Step 1: Getting
Started
Start by opening Outlook Express
by clicking on the Outlook Icon.
Once you enter Outlook you will be presented with
a setup wizard if it
is your first time on. The instructions are
easy to follow, just replace
the information with the information given to you
by your ISP.
If it is not your first time
then you will need to do several steps to
set your e-mail accounts up. It is a very easy
program to install and
setup. Just follow the example given on each page
of the wizard or
go to Step 5 to go through
each step. These are the very same steps that
the wizard uses, or the steps used to add a second
or third e-mail address.
