account procedure -

menu, click E-mail Accounts.

account, and then click
Next.
3. Select the e-mail server used

e-mail account, click POP3 for MSN Internet Access version
5.3 or earlier, for MSN Explorer, click HTTP.
4. In the appropriate boxes,
type the information given to you by your Internet service
provider (ISP) (ISP: A business that provides access
to the Internet for such things as electronic mail,
chat rooms, or use of the World Wide Web. Some ISPs
are multinational, offering access in many locations,
while others are limited to a specific region.) or administrator.
If you want to use Microsoft Outlook to connect to a
Hotmail server, all you need to know is your Hotmail
e-mail address and password.
Notes
- Unless your ISP has indicated that
your service uses Secure Password Authentication (SPA),
do not select the Log on using Secure Password Authentication
(SPA) check box.
- Unless specified by your ISP, all
server and address entries are typed in lowercase
letters. Some ISPs require a combination of lowercase
and uppercase letters for passwords to add further
security. For example, passWorD. Check with your ISP
to see if it requires a case-sensitive password.
- You have the option of having Outlook
remember your password by typing it in the Password
box and selecting the Remember password check box.
While this means that you won't have to type in your
password each time you access the account, it also
means that the account is vulnerable to anyone who
has access to your computer.
5. Do any of the following:
- If you are adding a Microsoft Exchange
Server account, click Check Names to verify that the
server recognizes your name. The name and server you
entered should become underlined. Be sure your computer
is connected to your network. If your name does not
become underlined, contact your administrator.
- If you are adding a POP3 (POP3: A common
protocol used to retrieve e-mail messages from an
Internet e-mail server.) server account, click Test
Account Settings to verify that your account is working.
If there is missing or incorrect information, such
as your password, you will be prompted to supply or
correct it. Be sure your computer is connected to
the Internet.
If you want to configure additional settings, such
as how you want your computer to connect to your e-mail
server, click More Settings. Otherwise, click Next.
