Microsoft E-Mail Client Set Up Instructions

This tutorial applies to the following programs:
  1. Outlook Express Version 5
  2. Outlook Express Version 5.5
  3. Outlook Express Version 6
  4. Outlook 2000 (Non-Exchange Server Mode)

You may use any POP3 enabled e-mail client to download and read your messages. However, we only provide instructions for the most popular clients available. If your e-mail client is not listed here, please check your program's help section or the maker's website for more details on setting up your e-mail.

In addition, our support is limited to the set up of your e-mail account within the e-mail client. CTS does not offer support, either on-line or by telephone, on how to use any specific features of your program.

Please note your basic account settings:

Account Name: your full e-mail address
Password: enter your mail password

Inbound Mail Server / POP3: mail.yourdomain.com
Outbound SMTP Server: obtain this from your ISP.

Then click on the ADD button from the upper right, and select MAIL.

! However you enter this name, this is what people will see when they receive your e-mail message as to who the message is from.
