How to Configure Outlook Express to Check
Your E-mail Outlook Express is an e-mail application included
with Internet Explorer 4.0. When you installed Internet Explorer 4.0, it may have
taken your current e-mail settings to be used for Outlook Express. Therefore,
Outlook Express may already be configured. If it isn't, or if you would like to add an
e-mail address to Outlook Express, follow the procedure below. You can configure Outlook
Express to check as many e-mail addresses as you like.
To add an e-mail account to Outlook Express
Start Outlook Express.
Choose Accounts from the Tools
menu. The Internet Accounts window will open.
Click the Mail tab. This will
show you any e-mail accounts that are currently set up in Outlook Express.
Click the Add button. A menu
will pop up; choose Mail.
The Internet Connection wizard will
appear to guide you through a series of configuration steps for the e-mail address you
want to add.
Enter your name as you want it to appear in e-mails.
Click Next.
Enter the e-mail address you want to add, in the form
of username@kayetech.com and then click Next.
Enter the following information:
My incoming mail
server is a: POP3
Incoming mail
(POP3 or IMAP) server: kayetech.com
Outgoing mail
(SMTP) server: kayetech.com
Click the first log on using radio
button and enter the following information:

Choose one of the following connection types:
If you connect to KayeTech through your modem,
click the Connect using my phone line radio button.
If you are connecting to a mail server other than
KayeTech via your office network (LAN), click the Connect using my local area
network (LAN) radio button. Note: You cannot use
KayeTech's outgoing mail server (kayetech.com) if you are connecting in this
fashion. Talk to your local network administrator for an outgoing mail server you
can use on your LAN.
If you wish to connect to KayeTech manually before
you open Outlook Express, choose the I will establish my Internet connection
manually radio button.
