Email Account Setup
- In Outlook Express, go to the Edit menu and select Preferences.
- A window will appear listing the mail, news and directory service accounts you have already setup. Click the button marked New Account.
- In the Account name box, enter your full e-mail address (ex. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). Under Account type the button beside POP should be pressed in, click OK to continue.
- In the Full name box, enter in your first and last name. (Illustration below)
- Enter in your E-mail address, then click Next to continue:
- The SMTP server should be set to your ISP's outgoing mail server. Your SMTP host is generally "smtp." Followed by the domain name of your ISP (ex. smtp.myisp.com).
- Your account ID should be your full e-mail address (ex. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).
- The POP server should be set to "mail." Followed by your domain name (ex. mail.example.com).
- Your password is your E-mailbox password. If you want your password to be saved for you every time you check your e-mail then put a check the box beside Save password; however, if there are other people who have access to your computer then you might consider not checking it to increase your security.

You are now ready to receive and send e-mail using Microsoft Outlook Express on a Mac.
