Manual Setup Guide for Outlook Express
Before you start: This guide will show you how to manually change the settings in Outlook Express.
The screenshots in this guide are from Outlook Express 6, as all versions of Outlook Express are very similar you shouldn't run into any problems if you're using a different version.
We recommend that you try using the automatic setup program provided with the following guides before you proceed. If you are removing your old mail accounts from Outlook Express you may need to follow this guide.
Please follow one of the following links if you haven't tried them yet:
"Outlook Express Setup Guide"
"Microsoft Outlook Setup Guide"
"Eudora Setup Guide"
You should only proceed if you want to add or remove your e-mail account manually.
Please Click on one of the following:
I Want To:
Remove an old mail account manually.
Add a new mail account manually.
Removing an old mail account from Outlook Express:
You should proceed with this guide only if the following applies to you:
You have completed the Automated Outlook Express guide. (or are unable to complete it)
or
You require an old account removed.
Start by running Outlook Express, usually located in the "Start Menu" under "Programs" or "All Programs".
If you still can't find it try clicking on the "Start" button, then click on the "Run..." button. Once that loads type "msimn.exe" without the quotation marks then click "OK".
Once Outlook Express is open find and click the "Tools" button located up the top, then click on the "Accounts..." button. (image shown below)
A new window should open, and to make things easier to sort through, click on the "Mail" tab up the top. This will now list all the mail accounts currently installed in Outlook Express. (image shown below)
Now, to remove an account, click on the account you want to remove (i.e. mail.ix.net.au) so it gets highlighted, then click on the "Remove" button located at the top right of the screen under the "Add" button.
Outlook Express should then present you with a confirmation window, so if you're sure you want to remove the account, click on the "Yes" button. (image shown below)
