Before you can receive email, you must configure Outlook Express, although this should be done for you during installation. If you upgrade to a new computer or reformat your hard drive, you may need to reconfigure your email settings.

To configure email in Outlook Express:

1. In Outlook Express, select Tools > Accounts.
   
   
   
   
   
2. On the Mail tab, select your @Home email account and click Properties.
3. On the General tab, make sure that your name and email address are correct. Leave the Reply address blank.
   
   
   
   
4. On the Servers tab, type the following values:
   • Mail Server Type: POP3
   • Incoming Mail Server: mail.yourdomain.com
   
   
   
   
   
5. In the Incoming Mail Server section, make sure your account name (your email account name is the same as your @Home username) and password are entered. Remember that this information is case sensitive. This means that John is not the same as john, when typing the account name and password.
   
   
   
   
6. On the Connection tab, if the connection section is not grayed out, set "Always connect to this account using..." to Local Area Network.
   
   
   
7. On the Advanced tab, make sure both the secure connection (SSL) check boxes are clear.
   
   
   
   
8. Click OK.
9. Select Accounts > Close.
