Multiple email accounts OE 5
 
Setting up Outlook Express 5 to handle multiple email accounts
1. Start by double clicking on the Outlook Express icon on the desktop.

2. Once in Outlook Express select the "File" menu at the top of the screen and select Identities, then click on "Add New Identity".
3. A window will then appear prompting you to "type your name", type in whatever you would like to refer to this account as and hit "OK".
4. You will then see a window asking you if you would like to switch to the new account now. Select "Yes".
5. Next you will see the "Internet Connection Wizard", select "Create a new Internet mail account" from the options available and click "next" at the bottom.
6. The next window that appears asks you to enter a "Display Name". This is the name that people will see in the “From” field whenever you send them an email. This can be anything you want. Once you enter your Display Name click the “Next” button.
7. In this window make sure the dot is beside “I already have an email address that I’d like to use.” Below that, enter your Dnet email address in this format: username@dnet.net Then click the “Next” button.
6. In this window you must make sure that “My incoming mail server is a POP3 server” shows at the top. Enter the email server names exactly as they appear in the example below. Click the “Next” button.
7. Windows should automatically put your username in the correct field. If it doesn’t just enter the first part of your email address (everything before the “@” symbol). You must then enter your password in the field below your username. If you do not want to enter your password every time you check your email you can check the “Save Password” box. Click “Next”.
8. You now finished setting up your new email account. Click “Finish”.
9. To switch between your different email accounts select the "File" menu from the top of the screen and then click on "Switch Identities". A window will appear that lists all the email accounts you setup in Outlook Express, select the one you would like to switch to and click "OK" the bottom.
