- How to configure an e-mail account.


1. To open Microsoft Outlook Express for Windows XP

Click Start, point to All Programs, and then click Outlook Express. This is the default location where Outlook Express is found. The Program would open.

2. In The Outlook Express, click on the Tools menu, (this can be found on the top left hand corner between View and Message), and then click choose Accounts as below.




3. Click Add (Which will open a small tag to the right of it), and then click Mail.



4. An Internet Connection Wizard will appear.

Click Next.




5. Insert your FULL e-mail address, the one provided by Perfect Online Solutions. Click Next.




6. Define your incoming mail server by clicking the Down curser and choosing from the following options. Click on the option you want when it is highlighted.

a) POP3 - stands for (Post Office Protocol 3). This is an address used to receive e-mails from your mail server (provided by Perfect Online Solution). This is the most commonly used option.

b) IMAP - stands for (Internet Message Access Protocol). This works in the same fashion as POP3, it depends on as to which on of these two you operate under.

c) HTTP - stands for (Hypertext Transfer Protocol). With this option you cannot send e-mails, and the following instructions do not relate if this option is chosen.
