Creating additional email accounts in Outlook Express 5.x
(NOTE:  With help of our example, you are supposed to create an additional email account in Outlook Express. There should be an existing and working email account already. It In order for these instructions to work, you must have Outlook Express installed correctly and running.

1) Launch Outlook Express and click on "Tools", then "Accounts.




2) On the 'Accounts' windows that comes up, select the 'Mail' tab at the top. You should see one or more previously set up email accounts. Now you will create an additional email account. Click on the 'Add' button, and choose 'Mail' as the item to add.




3) Outlook Express will now ask you for your additional email account settings. The first window will ask for your name. When you fill out empty field(s), always press the "Next>" button.




4) The second window will ask if you are setting up an existing account or a new account. Select the option that says you already have an e-mail account that you want to use and type in the full e-mail address for your new account (e.g."michael.jones@1stomni.com").




5) On this window you will need to choose the mail server type that has been setup for you. POP3 is the default and most common. Unless you have been told otherwise, choose this one. If you would like more information about the other option being IMAP click here. Enter the mail server name you were given for Incoming mail server. Enter the Outgoing SMTP server of you Internet access provider.




5) On this screen enter the new account name (username, login) and the new password that you were given by 1stOmni.




6) Click Finish




7) Now you should see at least two email accounts in the main window. If you want to change or check your settings, select the account you wish to adjust by clicking on its name, then hit the Properties button on the right and make any necessary changes. You should now be able to send and receive email for the additional and all previously existing accounts. If there is no error message or alert being displayed when you select "Send and receive" from the Outlook Express main menu, then the account settings are correct and you are ready to receive messages to your newly created additional email account.
