UPDATING MICROSOFT OUTLOOK EXPRESS

This section contains instructions on how to update your Microsoft Outlook Express settings.

To begin, open MS Outlook Express. On the main application menu choose Tools, then Accounts.

There may be several Accounts defined, some may be for newsgroups or other services. In this example you will need to find the email account that currently collects your email from Proweb (UK) Ltd. If no account has yet been created you will need to create a new account, click here to learn how.

Select the mail account you wish to modify. Click the Properties button to see the Account properties.

	john@proweb.net

Click the Servers tab, you will need to change 3 items of information on this page, both displayed in red.

First change the Incoming mail (POP3) value to pop.proweb.net

Second change the Outgoing mail (SMTP) value to post.proweb.net

Third, change the Account name value to john@proweb.net

Click the OK button to confirm the changes. You will be returned to the Account selection dialog. Close this and you will be returned to the main application.

To test the account changes you click the Send and Receive button or press Ctrl-M.

If you have a problem at this stage there are very few reasons why. First of all review the changes you made, check that you've typed the correct values especially for the Account name and incoming POP3 server name.

If you're satisfied that you've entered the correct values and that you have a working Internet connection please contact Proweb (UK) Ltd support.
