Configuring Microsoft Outlook Express
Below are the steps for configuring Microsoft Outlook Express 5.x as an e-mail client. If you have problems, please contact our Help Desk.
To start the Internet Connection Wizard (as shown below), select Accounts from the Tools menu,
then click the Add button and select Mail.... In some cases the first window you
see will be the second step below, rather than the first.
Select "Create a new Internet mail account" and click "Next >"
Enter your name and click "Next >"
Enter your e-mail address and click "Next >"
Change the "My incoming mail server is a POP3 server" option to "IMAP".
In the "Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP or HTTP) server" box, enter your e-mail server. For instance,
if your e-mail address is "jersmith@aesasp.com", your e-mail server is "gladstone.uoregon.edu".
In the "Outgoing mail (SMTP) server" box, type your e-mail server address again.
Click the "Next >" button.
In the "Account name" box, enter your username (e.g. jersmith for the address jersmith@aesasp.com).
Uncheck the "Remember password" box (if desired).
Click "Next >".
In the next window, click "Finish".
From the "Tools" menu, select "Accounts" then click on the "Mail" tab.
Click on the name of the e-mail account you just created and click the "Properties" button on the right.
Now that you have configured Outlook Express to send and receive e-mail,
please protect yourself
by making your copy of Outlook Express more secure.
