How do I setup my e-mail program for Sierra Advantage? I am using Outlook Express.
The following are instructions for setting up e-mail using Outlook Express.
The pictures provided are from Outlook Express 5.0, using Windows 98,
though the pictures and steps involved are similar for other versions of
Outlook Express, and with other operating systems.
| Note: You do not need a capital "P" when entering your username into the e-mail program. |
1. Open Outlook Express if it is not already opened, and select
Accounts... under the Tools menu.
2. Under the Mail tab, click Add then select Mail....
3. Enter your name in the Display name box, then click the Next > button.
4. Make sure the I already have an email... button is selected, then
enter your username, whatever that may be, then "@directcon.net"
in the E-mail address box.
Note: You do not need to place a capital "P" in front of your username for e-mail.
Click the Next > button.
5. Make sure "POP3" is selected next to the My incoming mail... text,
then enter "pop.directcon.net" in the Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP OR HTTP)
server box, and "smtp.directcon.net" in the Outgoing mail
(SMTP) server box.
Click the Next > button.
6. Enter your username in the Account name box.
Notice that Remember password is selected in the picture. Unselect
this option if you want to make sure only those with a password will be
able to access new e-mails, but be aware that if you unselect this option,
you will have to enter your password every time you check for mail.
If you choose to keep Remember password selected, enter your password
in the Password box.
You do not need to have the Log on using Secure... box selected.
Click the Next > button.
7. Click the Finish button.
8. If the previous steps have been performed, you should see the
following box, with pop.directcon.net under the Account column.
Click the Close button. You are ready to send and receive e-mail with Sierra Advantage.
