Setting
up Microsoft Outlook Express 4, 5, 6
Below
we use example information to setup a mail account. When we
use "jsmith" this represents your user name.
So for example, the following email address would be jsmith@litenet.net
you would substitute "jsmith" with your own username.
1.
From the "Tools" menu, select "Accounts".
2.
Choose "Add", then "Mail".

If prompted, select your connection method. In most cases,
you'll want to select "I will establish my Internet connection
manually." For those who want Outlook to dial up automatically,
select "Connect using my phone line."
Connecting
through you phone line requires a modem. Connecting using
my local area network (LAN), (or Local Area Network) requires
a network connection, DSL, or cable modem.
