| POP 3 SET-UP:
MICROSOFT OUTLOOK
EXPRESS 5 & 6
To begin setting up Outlook Express to connect
to
your mailME@hk.com account, start the program.
If this is your first time running the program, a setup wizard will
show up.
Click on the "Tools" menu and then select
"Accounts...", as shown in the screenshot below:
A popup
window will appear. Click the "Add"
button,
and select "Mail..." from the menu displayed, as shown in the
screenshot below:
The setup
wizard will ask for your "Display
Name".
When someone receives an email from you, this is the name they will see
in the "From" field.
Enter your name (or perhaps the name of
your company) and click
"Next".
And then the setup wizard asks for your email
address. This is YourName@hk.com email address.
Next, the setup wizard asks for your email
server
names. There are three boxes.
- The first is a drop-down box, which should
be set to POP3.
- Second is your incoming mail server,
type in
"mail.mailme.hk.com"
- Third is your outgoing mail server, type in
your ISP's SMTP
server here. (ask your ISP if you are not sure about the SMTP server)
Enter this information and click "Next".
The next step of the setup wizard asks for
your email address and your
password. This is your @hk.com email address. Enter this information
and click "Next". (Make sure that the account name entered is "Your
Name@hk.com" instead
of "Your Name" to avoid error connecting to the mailME email server.)
You have completed the setup wizard, but there
are
still a couple things to set up. Click "Finish".
Congratulations! The Set-up for Outlook
Express 5 is
finished and you are now ready to begin using your @hk.com email
account.
To check your mail, click the button with the
envelope and two arrows in your toolbar. A status window will appear so
you can watch the software connect and retrieve any messages you have.
