Outlook Express

How do I set up my mail account?

To create your username in Outlook Express, follow these instructions.

From Outlook Express, click on TOOLS in the top bar, and then on ACCOUNTS.

Click on the tab marked MAIL at the top, and then on the button marked ADD on the righthand side. This will bring up another menu on which you should select the MAIL option.

This will start the Internet Connection Wizard. For the 'Display name', enter your user name (e.g. John Smith) and click NEXT. Enter your email address (ie you@your-domain.com ) in the appropriate field, and click NEXT.

Ensure that 'my incoming mail server is a POP3 server' is shown, and for the 'Incoming mail server' enter pop.mail.legend.co.uk

For the 'Outgoing mail server' type the smtp server for your ISP. eg. smtp.mail.legend.co.uk and click NEXT.

Ensure that the 'Log on using' option is selected, and enter your email username in the 'POP account name' field. Enter your logon password in the 'Password' field and click NEXT.

You can now give the account a 'friendly' name so that you can identify it from your account (John's Mail) and click NEXT.

Click NEXT and then FINISH.
