Outlook Express Setup

If you did not configure email as a part of the Internet Setup Wizard, you may need to configure Outlook Express manually to retreive your Sonic.net email.

1. Open Outlook Express.

   

2. First you will be prompted for your name. Uses spaces and capitalization as you please. Click "Next" to continue.

   

3. Now provide your email address. This will be your Sonic.net account name followed by "@sonic.net". Click "Next" to continue.

   

4. Outlook Express needs to know which mail servers to get mail from and to send mail through. The incoming mail server is a POP3 server, and its name is "pop.sonic.net". The outgoing mail (SMTP) server is named "mail.sonic.net". Click "Next" to continue.
   

5. To retreive mail from pop.sonic.net, Outlook Express will need your Account Name & Password. Please note that your Account Name is always in lowercase for this purpose, and that your password is case-sensitive. Select "Remember Password" to prevent having to type your password every time you check for new mail. Click "Next" to continue.

   

6. Once all of the above information has been provided, Outlook Express is ready to be your mail client. You can start using it immediately. Click "Finish" to start using Outlook Express.
