That will be all you need to do to set up your e-mail.
If you are having problems sending e-mail, it may be due to your Internet
Service Provider. Some ISPs will not allow you to use your SMTP account,
they will only let you use yours. To configure a separate outgoing e-mail
server, follow the steps below:
|
Step 1 - Open Outlook Express, click on 'Tools' and then on
'Accounts'. Select the 'Mail' tab on the new screen. You should see
a similar screen as Fig 1 (above), double click on your e-mail account.
You should now see the properties of your e-mail (Fig 6).
