Step
#1
Make sure you have first downloaded and
installed Outlook Express before proceeding. You can only download Outlook
Express as a bundled application with Internet Explorer.
Once you have downloaded and installed Outlook Express, open the application.
Once the application is open and running, go to "Tools",
then select "Accounts" from the
pull-down menu. You should now see a pop-up window labeled "Internet
Accounts".
From the pop-up window, select "Add",
then "Mail" from the top left side
of the window.
Now proceed to Step #2 for details
on how to setup this new POP3 account in Outlook Express.
Step
#2
You should now see a pop-up window on your screen labeled "Internet
Connection Wizard". This screen will be asking for your name or
your organization's name. This name will show up on all mail sent from the
e-mail address you are setting-up. Fill out the requested information.
Below is an example of what you should see if you use your name.
Once you have filled in this screen, proceed
to Step #3.
Step
#3
The next pop-up window will ask for your Internet E-mail Address. This is the
e-mail address you are setting-up through Outlook Express. We have automatically
generated the screen capture below to reflect what you should enter if you are
setting up your Master POP3 account. If this is not the case, enter any other
POP3 account you have already setup.
Below is an example of what you should see if you use your master POP3 account.
Once you have filled in this screen, proceed
to Step #4.
Step

The next screen will ask for your E-mail Server Names. Simply follow the screen
below and fill-in the fields exactly as shown below. Make sure POP3 is selected
for your incoming mail server.

mail.yourdomain.com |

Once you have filled in this screen, proceed
to Step #5.
Step
#5
The Internet Mail Logon screen will ask for your login for this POP3 account,
which is just LOGIN@yourdomain.com for this POP3 account. After you enter
this information, be sure to enter your password. If you wish, Outlook Express
will save your password so you don't have to enter it each time. Make sure the "Remember
Password" box is checked if you wish to store your password. Do
NOT check "Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)".
Below is an example of what you should see if you use your master POP3 account.
Once you have filled in this screen, proceed
to Step #6.
Step
#6
You have just completed setting up this account in Outlook Express, and should
see the screen shot below! Be sure to click on the "Finish"
button on the bottom.
Step #7 Once you
have finished you will need to go back to Outlook Express and click on
Tools, then Accounts. Select the account that you created in the steps above
and click on the properties button. Select the Servers tab from the
properties window and check the box that says "My Server Requires
Authentication". Once you have the box checked click on the settings button.
You will want to select the "logon using" button and then specify your email
address along with your password in the appropriate field (see below).

Click Ok and the window to confirm the changes, close all other
windows and you are ready to send out emails through the ComCity
mail server.
Note: It is common for some Internet Providers (e.g.
cox.net, aol.com, etc.) to disallow customers from relaying email
through the ComCity mail servers in such case you will need to
modify your outgoing mail server settings to use your ISP's mail
server instead of ComCity. |
