Client Services - Setting Up Your Email Account

 

Once an email has been set up for you, you need to set it up as an account in your outlook or outlook express in order to be able to use it. You can have more than one account and each one needs to be set up separately. Instructions are below. These are instructions for Outlook, Outlook Express is very similar.

From the tool bar choose TOOLS/ACCOUNT SETTINGS. A new window will pop up, choose NEW [or ADD].

 

Next step is to input your new email account information. Your host provider will have sent you your user name and password, plus incoming mail server. The outgoing mail server is that of your own internet service provider. If you have an existing email account set up, you will find it there. Or you may have to call the company you get service from (in a lot of cases you will find this info on their website).

Click on the MORE SETTINGS button [see above], here are what the other tabs should be set at

You can have several email accounts all being pulled into your outlook. You can set one as a default, and will be the one automatically used when you hit new email.

When you want to send an email to someone from other than the default, write the email, and when ready to send, click to the right of the send button (there's an arrow there) and choose the appropriate account.

If you reply to someone who's emailed you at that account, it's automatically chosen for the reply.
