Getting to your Mail Account Settings
Mail Account settings can be located in Outlook Express by opening the Tools menu and selecting "Accounts."
Accounts Window
To view or change your Mail Account settings, select "pop.sonic.net" and click on the button labeled "Properties."
General Properties
Your general settings include your name, your organization name (if any), and your reply email address. Here you can also select whether this account will be included in a general "send and receive" action.
Server Properties
Your server settings include the incoming mail server name (pop.sonic.net), outgoing mail server name (mail.sonic.net), account name, and password.
By default, Outlook Express will use the same login name and password for outgoing mail as for incoming mail. You can change this by clicking the "Settings" button.
Connection Properties
You can specify a single connection for Outlook Express to use. This is not necessary.
Security Properties
The default Security settings can be changed as you please. These options can be used for encryption and message signing.
Advanced Properties
The outgoing mail (SMTP) server operates on port 465. The incoming mail (POP3) server operates on port 995. Sonic.net recommends the use of secure connections. Here you can optionally leave messages on the server.
