Outlook Express 6 E-mail Configuration Guide
Open Outlook Express, go to the "Tools" menu (if you get other pop-up screens when opening Outlook Express, click the cancel button next to them until you can click on the "Tools" menu), and click on "Accounts..."
When the "Internet Accounts" window appears, click on the "Mail" tab. Click and hold on the "Add" button, moving your pointer over the "Mail..." label and release the mouse button.
The "Internet Connection Wizard" dialog starts, begin filling out the information it asks for: First, the name you want to appear on all your e-mails you send to people.
Then enter in your E-mail Address.
Next, confirm that you are creating a POP3 account and enter the e-mail server information as is shown at right (mail.1027consulting.com)
Now, enter the Account Name and Password for your e-mail account (you don't need to put in the password, but if you do, it will be automatically sent to the e-mail server everytime you connect to it so long as the check is in the box next to "Remember Password"). Your Account Name is your email address.
You should end up at this window, so click "Finish"
Now we are back to the "Internet Accounts" window, and you should see the account we just created appear there (make sure you're still on the "Mail" tab if it does not). We have a couple of extra settings to take care of so click once on the account name you just created and then click "Properties".
In the window that opens, click on the tab that says "Servers". Verify that your settings are the same as in the image at right. Near the bottom of that window be sure to turn on (check) "My Server Requires Authentication" and then click on "Settings".
In the next window, you need to set Outlook to "Use Same Settings as My Incoming Mail Server". Then click "OK"
You will be returned to the Properties window. Click on the "Advanced" tab, and adjust the settings to reflect Outgoing mail (SMTP): 2500. Click "OK".
Click "Close" in the "Internet Accounts" window. Finally, hit send/receive to make sure it all works as expected.
