| How to
Configure Outlook Express to Check Your MaxInterNet E-mail
Outlook Express is an e-mail application included with Internet Explorer 4.0. When you
installed Internet Explorer 4.0, it may have taken your current e-mail settings to be used
for Outlook Express. Therefore, Outlook Express may already be configured with your
MaxInterNet e-mail configuration! If it isn't, or if you would like to add an e-mail
address to Outlook Express, follow the procedure below. You can configure Outlook Express
to check as many e-mail addresses as you like.
To add an e-mail account to Outlook Express
Start Outlook Express.
Choose Accounts from the Tools menu. The Internet
Accounts window will open.
Click the Mail tab. This will show you any e-mail accounts that are
currently set up in Outlook Express.
Click the Add button. A menu will pop up; choose Mail.
The Internet Connection wizard will appear to guide you through a
series of configuration steps for the e-mail address you want to add.
Enter your name as you want it to appear in e-mails. Click Next.
Enter the e-mail address you want to add, in the form of username@maxinter.net
and then click Next.
Enter the following information:
My incoming mail
server is a: POP3
Incoming mail
(POP3 or IMAP) server: mail.maxinter.net
Outgoing mail
(SMTP) server: mail.maxinter.net
- Click the first log on using radio button and enter the following
information:
POP account name: Your mailbox name (user name only)
(without @maxinter.net)
Password: Your e-mail password.
- Click Next. The Friendly Name window will appear.
- Type in a friendly name that will help you remember this e-mail address (such as
Harold's Mailbox or Mom's Mail).
- Click Next. The Choose Connection Type window will
appear.
- Choose one of the following connection types:
If you connect to MaxInterNet through your modem, click the Connect using my
phone line radio button.
If you are connecting to a mail server other than MaxInterNet via your office network
(LAN), click the Connect using my local area network (LAN) radio button. Note:
You cannot use MaxInterNet's outgoing mail server (mail.maxinter.net) if you are
connecting in this fashion. Talk to your local network administrator for an outgoing mail
server you can use on your LAN.
If you wish to connect to MaxInterNet manually before you open Outlook Express, choose
the I will establish my Internet connection manually radio button.
14. Click Finish.
If you want to add another e-mail account to Outlook Express, repeat the above
procedure. If not, click Close. |
