Outlook Express

This is a brief tutorial showing how you need to set up your Outlook Express client in order to connect to our server and retrieve your mail. Since the Macintosh version and the Windows version of this software are so similar, the pictures shown are from a Macintosh. Notes will follow if anything is different in the Windows version.

These screens are broken up into two different sections - one for Basic Web Accounts, and one for Domain Web Accounts. Follow the instructions that correspond to the account you have.
