Posted by Atif Nazeer | Posted in Settings | Posted on 25-06-2010
In this step by step guide, I’ll let you know how can you configure your email account in Outlook Express. Please follow steps as described:-
1.) Run Outlook Express by click on Start button and then selecting Programs -> Outlook Express
2.) If this is your first run or if you don’t have any account configured in outlook express then it will pop up account creation wizard. Use that or you can anytime click on Tools -> Accounts -> Mail -> Add to create account.
3.) Enter your company name in Display Name. Type a descriptive name because this will be shown to all of your senders.
4.) Then enter your email address which you want to configure.
5.) Then enter your incoming/outgoing servers. Ask your webmaster to provide your these details or if you have registered a domain with iNTERFACE then enter your domain name without www in incoming/outgoing server and in server type, select POP3.
6.) Then in Account Name, enter your username. Most commonly, this is your complete email address.
7.) Then enter your password and press next and then select finish.
Now you are almost done.
Outlook Express would now be showing your newly created account in Accounts. Double click on it and:-
1.) Goto server tab and select ‘My server requires authentication’
2.) Select Advanced and in server ports, enter 26 in Outgoing mail (SMTP). Most common outgoing port is 25. Some servers use different ports. If you have registered a domain with iNTERFACE then enter 26 in Outgoing mail (SMTP).
That’s all. Your email account should start working now.
