should see the following window. If not, go to the Tools
menu, and click on Accounts. After clicking Accounts
the window will appear. In this window, click on your domain
until it is highlighted, then click on Properties. |

|
| |
|
| Step 8: |
|
| When the next
screen appears, click on the Servers tab.

Note: You MUST do this step so you can send
mail from your domain. |

requires authentication. If not selected, sending

multiple accounts, follow these steps again.

| Unsure if
your new e-mail account is working?
Send an e-mail message to a friend. If they get the message,
your account is ready to roll! But if you run into problems
setting up your account, Outlook Express offers help. Search
for troubleshooting topics from Contents and Index on
the Help menu. |
