Step 4 of Configuring Outlook Express Email Software:

Type your name in the 'Display Name' box of the 'Internet Connection Wizard' popup window and then click the 'Next' button. The 'Display Name' is the name that people will see in their inbox when they receive email from you.

Step 5 of Setting up Your Email Address in Outlook Express:

The next screen of the 'Internet Connection Wizard' is where you enter your email address. Type your email address (i.e. xyz@me-too.net) in the 'E-mail Address' box and then click the 'Next' button.

Step 6 of Setting Up Outlook Express Email Accounts:

The next screen of the 'Internet Connection Wizard' is where you enter details about your incoming and outgoing e-mail server names. If you have a normal email account and email servers then select the 'POP3' server option from the 'My Incoming Mail Sever' option list.

Enter your incoming mail server name in the 'Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP or HTTP) server' box - the case of domain name and email accounts provided by me-too.net this will simply be 'mail.' followed by your domain name (without the 'www.'), for example, in the case of www.me-too.net the incoming email server setting is 'mail.me-too.net' - easy!

In the 'Outgoing mail (SMTP) Server' box you will need to enter your ISP's SMTP server setting (ISP = Internet Service Provider - this is the company that you go through to connect to the internet). Assuming you know who your ISP is you can look at our list of SMTP Servers of common ISP's or go to your ISP's website and search their help for 'SMTP server'. Often ISP's use 'smtp.' and then their domain name (without the 'www.') as the setting for SMTP server / outgoing mail server so try this if you can't find your ISP on our list of ISP SMTP servers. Click the 'Next' button once you have entered the outgoing email server.
