Outlook Express E-mail

Outlook Express can handle multiple accounts at once. All e-mail downloaded from the multiple accounts will be delivered to the Inbox. You can set up seperate Inbox Rules to determine what happens to those mails. See the Inbox Assistant page for more information on how to do this.

Adding Mail Accounts
(this is best done off-line)

  1. Open Outlook Express
  2. Click Tools > Accounts
  3. Click Add > Mail...
  4. Type the name you want displayed on your e-mail e.g. Joe Smith
  5. Click Next

  6. Type your e-mail address e.g. yourname@yourdomain.com
  7. Click Next
  8. Choose POP3 from the drop down list
  9. The incoming mail (POP3) server is mail.goldspace.com
  10. The outgoing mail (SMTP) server is mail.goldspace.com
    *NOTE: In some cases, your ISP (your internet connection people) will not allow you to use our outgoing (SMTP) server. In this case, you will need to contact your ISP and find out what settings should go here.
  11. Click Next

  12. Choose Log on using :
  13. Type your username e.g. yourname/yourdomain.com
  14. Type your e-mail password (This is supplied with your account, and is the same as your login password)
  15. Click Next
  16. Choose a Friendly Name to identify this account in Outlook Express
    This can be anything - it will not appear on the e-mail

  17. Choose "Connect using your phone line" or the appropiate connection for your Internet Connection.
  18. Click Next
  19. Choose "Use an existing connection"
  20. Click Next
  21. Select a connection from the list
  22. Click Next
  23. Click Finish to complete the setup.
  24. IMPORTANT NEXT STEP. Click on the folder tab for SERVERS, under the last section, Outgoing Mail Server, put a check in "My Server Requires Authentication". Click SETTINGS next to the check box and fill in your login and password (which should be the same as above).
    NOTE: This step is may or may not be necessary if you are using your ISP's outgoing mailserver (SMTP). Click OK until you are out of the settings box.
You might like to configure the Inbox Assistant at this point, to keep the e-mails seperate when you download them.
