Quick Start Guide for Outlook Express Internet email

Getting started with Outlook Express

With an Internet connection and Microsoft Outlook Express, you can exchange e-mail messages with anyone on the Internet and join any number of newsgroups.

The Internet Connection Wizard helps you connect to one or more mail or news servers. You will need the following information from your Internet service provider, or ISP (QZIP.NET) or your local area network (LAN) administrator:

• To add a mail account, you need your account name and password, and the names of an incoming and an outgoing mail server.

• For news reading, you need the name of the news server you want to connect to.

The following topics tell you how to start receiving and sending e-mail, in addition to how to view and join newsgroups. After you get started, you'll find there are many ways to tailor Outlook Express to your needs. Look in Help Contents for ideas.
