Retrieving email with
Outlook
Express
This Microsoft Outlook Express tutorial
shows how to setup Outlook Express to retrieve email from
your Kanataweb accounts. To configure Outlook Express,
follow the simple instructions below.
Open Outlook Express and choose "Tools" from
the menu bar.
Choose "Accounts" and click on the mail tab
when the "Internet Accounts" manager window
appears.
Click on the "Add" button and then on
"Mail". The Internet Connection Wizard will
walk you through the setup process.
First, it will ask for a display name. Normally your mail
has these headers:
to: joe@kanataweb.com
from: bob@aol.com
Choosing a display name of "Robert G. Davis"
will result in these headers on your outgoing mail:
to: joe@kanataweb.com
from: Robert G. Davis <bob@aol.com>
Next, the wizard asks for your email address that you
want people to reply to. Typing bob@aol.com here would
result in the above headers on your outgoing mail.
Next you are asked for your server information. Your
incoming mail server is a POP3 and its name is your
domain name (e.g. kanataweb.com).
We recommend using the SMTP server of your ISP but if
that fails to operate properly, you may use your domain
name here instead.
Next is your account name on our system. If your base
userid on our system (the one that you use to ftp and
telnet with) is bob, then your account name will be bob
with a number following. If your email address of
jane@yourdomain.com was the fourth account to be
setup, then the account name is bob4. Enter your
password, do NOT choose SPA and click next.
Next, it will ask for an account name that Outlook
Express will use to refer to this particular account, you
can choose whatever you want but we recommend something
like "My Kanataweb account".
If you log onto your ISP and then check your mail, choose
"I will establish connection manually". If you
want Outlook Express to dial into your ISP for you, then
choose "Connect using my phone line". If you
choose the latter, you will need to contact your ISP for
instructions on configuring your dialer.
Click on "Finish" and then on
"Close".
Now to retrieve your mail, in the Outlook Express window,
choose "Tools" from the menubar.
Then select "Send and Receive".
Some releases of Outlook Express contain an error that
prevents you from sending out email. If you experience
this problem, please click here for instructions on
correcting the problem.
Please let us know if you have any problems with this.
