This step-by-step tutorial is for Outlook Express Version 6. This is with CrystalTech hosting.
I have taken a screenshot of each step.
1. Click on Tools
2. Select Account
3. Click on Add
4. Select Mail
5. Enter your name
6. Enter your email account
7. Enter your incoming and outgoing mail servers
8. Enter your email account again
9. Click Finish -- the basic configuration is done.
10. Now we need to change some advanced settings. Either double-click the account that you just created OR select the account and click on Properties.
11. Change the account name to something you can easily identify
12. Under the Servers tab, click on the checkbox for 'My server requires authenication' in the Outgoing Mail Server section.
13. Under the Advanced tab, check the setting for 'Leave a copy of messages on server'. Check the setting for 'Remove from server...' and change it to a number of days. This is always a good idea so that your online (on the server) space does not get filled up.
14. You're done!
