Outlook Express Configuration |
To configure Outlook Express whether for the first time or to make a new account the procedure is the same. You should have your TPG Internet Invoice or Voucher with you, which has your username & password, as well as other Setup Configuration details you will require.
Step 1: Setting Up
- Open Outlook Express
- Open the Tools menu and select Accounts.
- Select the Mail tab at the top of the window. Click Properties and enter your account details. To add a new account select Add. Add will give you 3 options: Mail, News and Directory Service. Select Mail.
- Enter a Display Name. This name will appear as the full name of the person who owns the e-mail. Select Next.
- Enter your E-mail address: username@tpg.com.au. Select Next.
- Enter your Mail Server Addresses (details on your TPG Internet invoice) eg. syd-mail.tpg.com.au. Both the incoming (POP3 server) and the outgoing (SMTP server) are the same. Select Next.
- Check the Log on Using option. Enter your username and password. Select Next.
- Enter a Friendly name. This is the name that Outlook Express uses to describe the account. Select Next.
- Select connection type:
- Connect using my phone line. This is the setting to enable the mail program to dial the modem connection and then do the mail. If you have multiple accounts you may wish to disable this, as it will disconnect the connection to load each account
- Connect using a LAN. This will connect to the mail server via a Network and needs to have the network established before it can collect mail. This is preferred when you have multiple accounts, as you will establish a network connection with your modem before you load your mail program and once loaded you can then download multiple accounts.
- Connect Manually is not needed.
- Connect using a phone line will ask to select the Dialup Connection you wish to use. Select the TPG Connection.
- Select Finish.
- The new account is now configured.
