| How
do I configure the Outlook Express email program with my Surfanytime
email address for Windows?
1. With Outlook Express opened, go to the
Tools menu and select Accounts option. Once the dialog box
opens, click on the Mail tab at the top, and then click the
Add button to the right of it. This will start the Internet
Connection Wizard, which will take you through the process
for setting up Outlook Express.
2. In the first box, you will be asked for
your name. Enter it as you would like it to appear on
outgoing mail, such as your First and/or Last Name, and then
click the Next button. From there, you will be asked to
enter your email address. For this, input your address in
the format youremailname@surfanytime.net, replacing "youremailname"
with your specific name. Click the Next button.
3. The next dialog box will prompt you for
the Email Server Names. At the top, make sure that it says
My incoming mail server is a POP3 server. For Incoming mail
(POP3) server, input the following:
mail.surfanytime.net
For Outgoing mail (SMTP) server, input the
following:
smtp.surfanytime.net
Click the Next button.
4. The next dialog box will prompt you for
your Internet Mail Logon. Make sure that Log on using: is
selected and enter your username in the POP account name as yourname@surfanytime.net.
Enter your password in the Password: field. Please make sure
these are input exactly as they were indicated in your Surfanytime
confirmation letter, due to case-sensitivity. Click the Next
button.
5. You will then be asked for a Friendly
Name, which would be the name for the mailbox you just
created in Outlook Express' list of accounts. Input the word
Surfanytime here, or whatever else you would prefer. Click
the Next button.
6. The next dialog box will ask how you're
connected to the Internet. Please select Connect using my
phone line. Click the Next button.
7. In the next dialog box, click the
Finish button. You should now see your entry in the list of
accounts. Click the Close button.
Checking Email With Outlook Express
Once you have configured Outlook Express,
you can check your incoming mail messages by clicking the
Send and Receive icon in the toolbar, or by going to the
Tools menu and selecting the Send and Receive option.
Sending Email With Outlook Express
To send a new message, click on the
Compose Message icon in the top toolbar, or by going to the
Compose menu and selecting New Message option. You will then
see a composition window in which you can enter the
recipient's address in the To: field, the subject of the
message in the Subject: field and the body of your message.
When you are done putting your message
together, click the Send icon in the toolbar of the message
window, or by going to the File menu and selecting Send
Message option.
