Outlook Express 5

 

Note: This applies only to Outlook Express 5 that ships with Internet Explorer 5, but the setup is very similar for all of the Oulook Express Programs. First open Outlook Express and select the Tools Pull-down menu, and select the Accounts option.

Click on add new account and select a mail account.

This will then generally set up the Internet Connection Wizard and follow these steps.

Put your Email address in.

It now asks for your server types. You can also select between POP3 and IMAP for your email connection. POP3 downloads the files to your local machine, while IMAP stores them on the host server. In practice, IMAP is very useful for people who are checking their email from multiple machines. Enter mail.dreadnought.net for the server and click next.

Now Input your username and your password. Please make sure your username is all lower case and password is as you specified when creating your account.

Click your account and click properties.  Click the servers tab and check my server requires authentication.  Click OK.
