Configuring Outlook Express for Email

  1. Open Outlook Express

  2. Click the Tools menu and select Accounts

  1. Click Add, then click Mail

  2. Click Next

  1. Enter your Email address

  1. Click Next

  2. Confirm the Incoming mail server is set to POP3

  3. Set Incoming mail server to pop3.yourdomain.com

  4. Set Outgoing mail (SMTP) server to the appropriate setting

    IMPORTANT:The name of your Outgoing SMTP server must be set to your Internet Provider SMTP server (Shaw, Telus, etc). If you are not sure of the name of this server, please contact your dial-up ISP. NETalberta does not provide outgoing SMTP services from your local workstation.

  1. Click Next

  1. Your Account name is your email address.  Be sure to enter the account name rather than an alias. For example, your account email address may be info@netalberta.com but you may be using an alias e-mail address such as, joe@netalberta.com - your account name would be info@netalberta.com and not joe@netalberta.com.

  2. Outlook Express can remember your password, if prompted to do so. To enable this feature:

    • Enter the password in the Password field
      (displays as *********)

    • Click a checkmark in the Remember password box

    • Remove the check mark to require the password each time Email is accessed

    • Ensure that Secure Password Authentication is NOT checked

    • Click Next

  1. Click Finish

  1. You are returned to the Internet Accounts dialogue box.

  2. Click Close to return to Outlook Express

Outlook Express 5.0 is now configured to send and receive your mail!
