Configuring Outlook Express 5/6

 

  1. Launch Outlook Express by double-clicking the icon on your desktop:
    (You can also find Outlook Express by clicking Start, and looking in Programs)

  2. The Internet Connection Wizard may start automatically. If the following screen appears, skip to step 5:

  3. If the Internet Connection Wizard does not appear automatically, click the Tools menu, and select Accounts (as shown below)

  4. At the Mail tab, click Add, select Mail (shown below)

  5. The Display Name will appear in the From field of any mail you send. Type your name as you would like it to appear. Click Next

  6. Type your full e-mail address. Click Next

  7. For the incoming mail server-type, pull down the menu and select IMAP. Type cisunix.unh.edu for both the Ingoing and Outgoing mail servers (as shown below). Click Next

    **Off-campus users please note:** In order to send e-mail while off-campus, you must enter the SMTP (outgoing mail) server name for your ISP instead of cisunix.unh.edu. You will not be able to send mail otherwise. This setting will need to be changed to cisunix.unh.edu if you use your computer both on and off campus (e.g. a laptop computer.) For example, if you use Comcast, their SMTP server is smtp.comcast.net.

  8. At the Internet Mail Logon screen, type your cisunix username in the Account Name box. If you would like Outlook Express to remember your password, keep the box checked, and type in your password (shown below).
    If you uncheck the Remember Password box, you will be prompted for your password every time you open Outlook Express. Click Next

  9. Click Finish at the following screen to complete your configuration.

  10. Click Yes at the following screen to connect to cisunix and download your folder listing.

  11. Congratulations, Outlook Express is ready to go. To check for new mail click on the Send/Recv button. (circled below)
