How to Add Another Email to Outlook Express

You can use Microsoft Outlook Express as a way to check your email from any account. Additionally, you can set up multiple email accounts on Outlook Express. All you need is your computer and the information about your email accounts. Depending upon the account type, this information will differ slightly, but it can usually be obtained from the email account provider.

Things You'll Need

• Microsoft Outlook Express
• Email account server type (HTTP, POP3 or IMAP)
• Email account login information
• POP3 or IMAP outgoing server name (STMP)

Instructions

1. Open Microsoft Outlook and locate the "Tools" menu from the top.

2. Select "Accounts." Then select "Add." Lastly, select "Mail."

3. Type the name you want to appear on all outgoing mail on the next screen, and choose "Next."

4. Your email address should be entered into the next screen, and click "Next."

5. Choose your email server type from the drop-down menu: POP3 is the most common; HTTP is often for web-based email servers. Or choose IMAP, if you have another remote email access server that is not POP3. To be certain, you should check with your email service provider for the type of server it uses. Below the drop-down menu to choose the server, type in the server for incoming mail and outgoing mail, if applicable. Click on "Next."

6. Enter your email account login information on the next page, and when you click "Next," you should then choose "Finish" and you are done.

7. Repeat Steps 1 to 6 to add more email accounts.
