How Do You Configure Outlook Express For Windows XP?
The Windows XP operating system includes Outlook Express, a full-featured email client that allows you to send and receive POP3 email and access certain webmail accounts without using a web browser. Configure Outlook Express using the server information, user name, and password for your email account. Open Outlook Express. Click “Tools,” then click “Accounts.” Click “Add,” then click “Mail.” Type your name into the window that follows. Note that this information is not used with your email server. Rather, it is the name that appears on the emails that you send. Enter your name or nickname as you want others to see it when you send them an email. Click “Next.” Click the button labeled “I already have an e-mail address that I’d like to use.” In the box below, type your full email address. Click “Next.” Use the drop-down menu in the next screen to select your email server type. In most cases, you should select “POP3.” However, if you are using a webmail service, you should select “HTTP.”
