Microsoft Outlook Express (PC)
 

Outlook Express allows you to add a new email account to your existing profile. This means you do not have to replace your current settings in order to send and receive Network Solutions’ Email messages. To add a new email account to your existing profile:

  1. From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts."
  2. Select the "Mail" tab.
  3. Click the "Add" button.
  4. From the Add menu, click "Mail."
  5. In the text box labeled Display Name, type your name and click "Next."
  6. In the Email Address box, type your full Email address (e.g., "john@ez-mtg.net").
  7. Select "POP3" to answer the question "My incoming mail server is a…."
  8. Type "mail.” followed by your domain name (e.g. mail.ez-mtg.net) in the Incoming Mail (POP3, IMAP, or HTTP) Server box.
  9. Type "mail.” followed by your domain name (e.g. mail.ez-mtg.net) in the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server box.

Note: Skip this step unless you are having problems sending outgoing e-mails after finishing the setup. (Not required in most cases)

Some ISPs will not allow you to use Network Solutions’ outbound mail servers. If that is the case, type in the name of your ISPs outgoing e-mail server (ex. smtp.myisp.com). You may also try and configure Network Solutions’ Outbound Mail server to connect to Port 2525 instead of the default Port 25.

  1. Click "Next"
  2. In the Account Name box, type your full Email address (e.g., "john@ez-mtg.net”).
  3. In the Password box, type your password.
  4. If you want Outlook Express to remember your password, check the "Remember password" box.
  5. Do not check the "Log on using secure password" box.
  6. Click "Next"
  7. Click "Finish"
