If you do not
understand the steps listed below, just click on the step you
are on for a full color screen shot.
Open Outlook
Express.
From
the top of the window, click 'Tools', then choose
'Accounts'.
The
next window will have 4 tabs, 'All', 'Mail',
'News', and 'Directory Services'.
Choose the 'MAIL' tab.
Along
the right hand side of this window will be a series of buttons.
Click the button on the top, the 'Add' button and
choose 'Mail'.
A new window will
now pop up.
Enter
your name in the 'Display Name' box
and click the 'Next' button.
Enter
your email address in the 'Email Address:'
box in the following format: username@savy2k. net . For
example, if the username you provided us was
"johndoe", the email address you would enter in this
box would be: johndoe@savy2k. net . Click the 'Next'
button after entering your email address.
Make
sure 'My Incoming Mail Server is a ___ Server' is set to 'POP3'.
Under
'Incoming Mail (POP3, IMAP or HTTP) Server:' there is a long
white box. Type the following: mail.savy2k.net
Under
'Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server:' there is a long white box.
Type the following: smtp.savy2k.net
Before you click the
'Next' button, double check and even triple check
the above two entries. Make sure they are entered exactly
as shown above, and if you have not looked at the image provided
for those steps, please click on the steps and do so now, just
to make sure. The majority of the problems our customers
have with their email stems from the top two steps being done
incorrectly. After you are positive the above two steps
are correct, then click the 'Next' button.
Now
there are 2 more long white boxes. In the 'Account
Name' box, type your username. For example, if the
username you provided us with was 'johndoe', then
you would enter 'johndoe' in the 'Account Name'
box.
The
next box is the 'Password' box. Please enter
your password in this box, and do so carefully. You will
not be able to see what you are typing, you will only see ***
stars. If you think you may have made a mistake entering
your password, please clear the password box out and try
entering it again right away.
After your username
and passwords are entered, click the 'Next'
button.
The
next screen will say you have successfully set up your mail
account, so just click the 'Finish' button and you
are on your way!
