In Outlook Express, you configure
your mail account by going to Tools and
Accounts... then click on the Mail
tab.
Configuring your email account is simply
a matter of pressing the Add button and answering a
few questions.
Display Name
This describes who you are seen
to be when others receive email from you. You could claim
to be Tony Blair and have an email address tony.blair@number10.gov.uk,
but that wouldn't be true. That's called forging your
email headers. If you do this, it's probable that people
won't be able to reply to any email you send.
Enter your full name
Internet Email Address
You should choose to enter the details
of an existing email account. Enter the email address you
want to receive emails on. With Graith Internet,
you can receive emails at any.address@yourdomain.co.uk so it's your choice.
It's like having one letter box and the
postman knows to deliver letters to any of your family through
that box.
Email Server Names
This section tells Outlook where to collect
your email and where to send it from.You need to enter
your website domain name in your incoming mail server
. I use mail.graith.co.uk wherever it asks for my incoming mail server. If it asks POP3/IMAP, enter POP3. You'll also be asked
for your username.
(You should have been informed of your username and password when your service was set up.)
