These instructions are based on the Outlook Express 4.0. They
may be different for older and/or newer versions; however the
concept is the same.
Before getting started you will need to know the following:
-
Outgoing mail (SMTP) server name(Example: smtp.myisp.com)

name on our servers (Example: abc1)

Item #1 can
be found by either asking your service provider or possibly by
checking your current settings as follows:
- Go into
your Outlook Express program
- Under
the Tool menu choose Accounts
- Choose
Properties
- Select
Servers
- Write
down the server name (or number) that is in the "outgoing
mail (SMTP)" field
Items #2 and
#3 should have been provided to you from someone here at Green
Bridge Station. If you do not have this information or you do
not know how to retrieve it please call our office.
Once you have the above information:
- Go into
your Outlook Express program
- Under
the Tool menu choose Accounts
- Choose

the display name (Example: Sales Department)
