E-MAIL SETUP INSTRUCTIONS - OUTLOOK EXPRESS

These particular instructions are for an older version of Outlook Express. The newer versions come with a fairly user friendly Wizard, but if you run into any roadblocks give us a call (503-869-4970).

If using the Wizard setup or the instructions below, you will need to know these four things in advance:

• User Name: name@example.com (your full e-mail address)
• Password: ****** (the password we assign) - The password can be changed to any password you want to use, but we need to change it on the server to match - so let us know if you need to change it.
• Mail Server: mail.example.com (replace example with your domain name). Use this for both the incoming & outgoing mail servers (POP & SMTP)
• Outgoing Port: 2525 - This is an advanced setting under Account Properties, and only needs to be done if you can receive e-mail, but are not able to send e-mail. The default is 25, and is blocked by some ISP's (Internet Service Provider) so it may have to be changed manually to 2525.

E-mail accounts are 'standard' POP3 accounts. Please contact us for setup on Microsoft Exchange Servers.
