Outlook Express Mail Setup
The Internet Connection Wizard makes short
work of setting up your online mailbox by walking you
through each step for every e-mail account you set up.
NOTE: In this example, your website
name is referred to as "your-domain.com". Be sure to
replace "your-domain.com" in your setup with your website
name. If your website is .net, for example, then
you will use "your-domain.net".
