Outlook Express 5, 5.5 and 6

Note: Outlook Express 5 may look slightly different from later versions, but the information you need to enter remains the same.

1. Click on Tools, then Accounts.
   
   
2. In the Internet Accounts box, click on MAIL. If this is the first time Outlook Express is being set up, a setup wizard will appear and ask you questions such as your name, your email address, etc.
   
   If another account is in the box that is not being used, or if you are "resetting" your account in Outlook, then remove the accounts and once the Internet Accounts box is blank (as in the above example) click ADD then MAIL.
   
   
3. Enter your name here. This can be any name you want the people you send Email to see you as. Once done, click NEXT.
   
   
4. Click "I already have an e-mail address I’d like to use" and enter your Hypercon e-mail address. Once done, click NEXT.
   
   
5. Incoming mail server type:
   POP3
   Incoming mail (POP3 or IMAP) server:
   mail.hypercon.net
   Outging mail (SMTP) server:
   smtp.hypercon.net
   
   Once done, click NEXT.
   
   
6. The Account Name is your email address(for example: username@hypercon.net). In Password, put in your Hyperconnections password.
   
   
7. Click FINISH.
   
   
8. At this point, you are returned to the Internet Accounts screen. From this screen, click on or highlight the mail account just created and click on the Properties button to the right.
   
   
9. On the Account Properties screen, you are presented with the General tab when the screen appears, but you are not required to make any changes on the General screen. Click on the Servers tab at the top.
   
   
10. On the Servers tab, you need to check the box labeled, "My server requires authentication". Once this box is checked, click on the Settings button to the right.
    
    
11. Make sure that "Use same settings as my incoming mail server" has been selected. Click on the OK button when you are finished.
    
    
12. At the Account Properties screen, click on the OK button to return to the main Internet Accounts Screen. Click close to return to the main Outlook Express screen.
