How do I setup Outlook Express to get my e-mails?

The following is a general guide to setting up Microsoft’s Outlook Express versions 5 and 6 to enable you to send and receive emails.

When you create your pop3 mailbox you will be given a POP3 mailbox name such as pt35070480– xx.

You must wait at least 3 hours before trying to access the mailbox after setting it up.

Note: - Identities
The ability to create separate Identities is a powerful and constructive element in Microsoft’s Outlook Express. If you are on a multi-user PC and require private settings for your email account, then creating an Identity will enable you to do so. These are customised settings you can have under separate names in Outlook Express. The ability to create Identities can also be used to access each different mailbox you have separately (although all can be accessed within the same identity if required).

Step 1

Having Outlook Express loaded, from the main window you will be able to set up Outlook Express to send and retrieve mail from the email account you have hosted with OneandOne. Click on Tools: Accounts to enter into this set-up process.

Step 2

Here a pop-up screen will appear, with 4 tabs - All, Mail, News, Directory Service - Click on the second of these tabs - ?Mail? - click on ?Add? then click on ?Mail?.

Step 3

The display name is the name that will appear in the ?From? field every time you send an email. In the available space, enter the name you wish to appear (for FAQ purposes the sample has Joey Doe) and then click on next.

Step 4

This step requires you to enter the email address you are configuring this account for. Click on the radio button ?I already have an email address I?d like to use?. In this case, the account is being configured for joey doe at the company Dough.com, hence the email joeydoe@dough.com. Type in the name of the email address you are configuring (e.g. joeydoe@dough.com) and click on the next button.

Step 5

Sending and retrieving mails requires the use of email servers. For your OneAndOne email account, the Incoming mail server is a POP3 server, this is the default server selected in Outlook Express, however if this drop down menu option has been changed click on it and change it to POP3.

In the next two boxes, the addresses for the incoming and outgoing mail servers are required.

The incoming mail server address is : pop.oneandone.co.uk
The outgoing mail server address is : auth.smtp.oneandone.co.uk

Click on next to proceed to the next page.

Step 6

Here you must have your email username and password for the account you are configuring ready. These were supplied to you by jailbait@ramseyhc.com.

Enter your username and password details, and it is up to if you wish for the system to remember your password or if you want to renter it every time accessing your mail. Click next to proceed to the next step.

Step 7

You are done! You account is now fully configured and ready to start sending and receiving mails using OneandOne servers with Microsofts Outlook Express software.

Click on Finish to end the set-up procedure.
