Setting up Outlook Express

Follow these steps

1. Create an e-mail account using Control Panel. The e-mail account will store your incoming mail. Make a note of the e-mail account password provided to you when you create the account.
2. Start Outlook Express, and click the "Tools" menu item. Select "Accounts". The "Internet accounts" window appears.
3. Click the "Add" button in the upper right corner of the window, and select the "Mail..." menu item. The "Internet Connection Wizard" window appears.
4. In the first step of the wizard, enter your name as you would like it to appear in the "From" field of the e-mail messages you send. Click "Next".
5. Enter the e-mail address of the account you created in step one, and click "Next".
6. In the "Incoming mail server" field, enter your domain name preceded by "mail.", such as mail.example.com. In the "Outgoing mail server" field, enter your Internet service provider's outgoing (SMTP) mail server name, or, if you prefer to use Korax' mail server for outgoing mail, enter your domain name preceded by "mail.", such as mail.example.com. Click "Next".

   If you want to use Korax' mail server for outgoing mail, you will also have to perform an additional setup step after you complete the wizard. Continue the remaining steps to the end, then read the section on editing your new account at the bottom of this page.

7. In the "Account name" field, enter the e-mail address of the account you created in step one. In the "Password" field, enter the e-mail account password that was given to you when you created the e-mail account. Check "Remember password" if you don't want to be prompted to enter your password each time you check for new mail. Click "Next".
8. On the final screen, click "Finish" to save your new e-mail account.

Editing your new e-mail account to use Korax' outgoing mail server

If you want to use Korax' outgoing mail server, instead of your ISP's mail server, you will need to perform the following additional steps.

1. In the "Internet Accounts" window, select the account you just created, and click the "Properties" button. The "Properties" window appears.
2. Click the "Servers" tab.
3. Check the box labeled "My server requires authentication".
4. Click the "Advanced" tab.
5. Under "Server Port Numbers", in the field labeled "Outgoing mail (SMTP)", type the number 587.
6. Optional, but recommended: To protect the privacy of your email account username, password, and email messages as they travel over the Internet between your computer and the mail server, we strongly recommend enabling SSL encryption as follows:
   1. Check both boxes marked "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)".
   2. Change "Outgoing mail (SMTP)" to port 465.
   3. Change "Incoming mail (POP3)" to port 995.

   Note: if your email software displays a certificate name mismatch warning when you connect, click the Servers tab and change the incoming and outgoing server names to mail.korax.net.

7. Click "OK".
