Chapter 1 : How To Setup Outlook Express Email - Email Support Edit Article How to Configure Outlook Express. In this Article: Determining Which Server to Use Configuring Outlook Express Client Community Q&A Email is a great way to stay in contact with family and friends. A recurring example is the apparently simple "How do I set up my mail server in Outlook Express? Click Tools, click Accounts, click Add, click Mail, and then just follow the wizard. The wizard asks for your name easy, your e-mail address also usually easy, and then asks you to set up your mail server. Mail Servers A mail server is a computer that sends, receives and stores e-mail for users. Almost every Internet Service Provider ISP includes at least one mailbox on their mail server as part of their basic service. Each mailbox on the server has a unique name which is usually, but not always, the logon name you use to connect to your ISP. To access mail on a server, you use a computer program called a mail client, or mail reader, such as Outlook Express. When a client connects to a server, both computers must be speaking the same language, called a protocol. In the case of mail servers there are four protocols that can be used. Outlook Express supports all four of these protocols. While all four protocols perform mail functions, there are important differences in how they function on the server. As soon as a message is downloaded, the client tells the server the message has been received and the server copy should be deleted. Outlook Express follows this default behavior, but also gives you the option to "leave a copy of messages on server". On the Outlook Express Tools menu, click Accounts. Click the Mail tab, and then double-click your e-mail account. Click the Advanced tab. Check the box labeled "Leave a copy of messages on server. If desired, check the box to "Remove from server after 5 days. Saving messages on the server can cause your mailbox to become full very quickly, and so you might not receive important messages until you delete the server copies. Outlook Express can also store copies on your own computer, so that your local copy is an exact mirror of whatever is on the server. When you delete an e-mail in an IMAP account, you are deleting both the local copy and the server copy. The main advantage of IMAP over POP3 is that, since all messages are on the server, you can access all your mail from any computer with an Internet connection. You can also create subfolders on the server and in your local Outlook Express account to better organize your mail. But as all e-mail users know, many of those messages are infected with viral attachments, or are spam unsolicited commercial e-mail, or are scams please let me use your bank account to get millions of dollars out of Nigeria. To prevent spammers and malicious users from sending mail via their server, most ISPs have placed restrictions on who is allowed to access their SMTP server. If you sometimes use a second ISP though, or if you use an e-mail address other than the one provided by your ISP, the SMTP server may not recognize you as an authorized user and so will refuse to send your messages. Instead the server will issue an error message which Outlook Express will display. The exact text varies but will usually include the error code " - Relaying not allowed. The most important difference is that Hotmail does not use the Undelete and Purge functions. Deleting a message on Hotmail moves the message to the Hotmail Deleted Items folder. From there it can be retrieved if you change your mind just by dragging it back to the Inbox or other folder. Also the Deleted Items folder is deleted automatically after some time interval. A Simple Answer The simplest answer to the question posed at the beginning is simple indeed: Only your ISP can tell you for sure the names of their servers and what authentication methods you must use to configure your mail servers in Outlook Express correctly. You can also post a message to the Outlook Express forum, but understand that only those who use the same ISP are likely to know the server names and methods. Once you are armed with the server name, your server logon name and password, and the type of server, you are ready to finish the Add Account wizard with which we began. If you are setting up a Hotmail account, type your Hotmail address when the wizard asks for your e-mail address. Outlook Express will recognize it as Hotmail and set up the server automatically for you. If you have already configured your e-mail account and wish to change the server information, you can do so with just a few mouse clicks. Click the Servers tab. Page 1

You see, most Gmail users always access their e-mails through a web browser. While this can be very convenient for checking your e-mails when traveling or on the road, working with Gmail in Outlook Express also has a number of advantages. For instance, if you share your computer with a number of family members or relatives, each person can have their own Windows account with their own unique windows desktop and desktop settings along with their private documents, internet favorites and other settings. But not only that, they can also create their own Outlook Express desktop shortcut that takes them directly to their own separate Gmail inbox. If privacy is an issue, each user can of course enter a password on the Windows user account in order to protect their private stuff from prying eyes. If you are not sure if your Windows configuration has separate user accounts for your family members, you can find out more about it in our windows user accounts article. Once you have your Windows properly set up with separate accounts for each user, you are ready to configure Outlook Express for Gmail. Configuring Outlook Express is as easy as completing the account creation wizard. The Outlook account creation wizard will ask for a number of things, including: The Gmail pop server sometimes referred to as the Gmail pop3 server The Gmail smtp server Your user account Your account password The Gmail pop server is the email server that Outlook Express will contact in order to retrieve messages that others have sent to you. The Gmail smtp server is the server that Outlook Express will use to deliver your outgoing messages on the internet, so that they can be routed to your correspondent. Confused about Outlook and Outlook Express? Outlook Express is the standard e-mail program that comes with Windows XP, while Outlook is part of the Microsoft Office suite usually with Microsoft Office, Microsoft Excel, which you have to buy as an additional software package. Outlook offers some additional functionality over Outlook Express, such as a calendar and the capability of working in a networked server based collaboration environment.

The term server can refer to the service software or to the computer hardware that runs it. The context in which the term is used helps us distinguish, but the distinction is unimportant in most conversations. Outlook [client] is not the same as Outlook Express another client program. The Outlook client is not used by students and it does not work for employees who take their computers off campus. Fortunately Outlook server has multiple ways it can be reached. Think of it as a multi-lingual server with different operators standing by on different channels for us to access the same information using the language of choice. The three ways to connect with the Outlook server are: One needs the Outlook client on their computer and be directly conntected to the on-campus network. This is the most responsive and satisfying way to handle e-mail, but its proprietary nature makes it unavailable from off campus without more extreme measures. Web Based E-mail - This is the opposite extreme. It is the most universally available, but less responsive and satisfying than using the Outlook client directly. It is universal since we do not use an e-mail client program, but rather a web browser. The Outlook server has an HTTP channel and, like a web server, delivers web pages except that these mimic the behavior of an e-mail client. To access Graceland e-mail this way go to http: You can use most any e-mail client program and set it up for POP3 access to our mail server. A POP client downloads e-mail from the server to the local computer and may be configured to automatically delete it from the server once downloaded or perhaps after the client-side copy is deleted. Unlike web-based e-mail, it lets us keep old e-mail without doing so on the server avoids filling up our e-mail account. An e-mail client is often more responsive than web-based e-mail.
