CONFIGURING YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNTS

To configure your email, you will need to know the following information:

1.  Launch Outlook Express.

2. Select the Tools menu, then select Accounts....

      

Click the Add button and select Mail....

Outlook Express will run a wizard to guide you through each step of configuring Outlook Express.

4. Type your full name as you want people to see it when they receive email from you.

This may be your choice to maintain personal privacy if several people will share one computer.
