Open Outlook Express

At this point, Outlook Express will either open to the summary screen, or it will open a wizard to help you setup your e-mail account.

If you do not see the wizard:

At the top of the page click on the 'Tools' menu and then select 'Accounts...'. Click on the 'Mail' tab at the top. Click 'Add' and then 'Mail'

Your Name

This is what will appear in the FROM field when you send an e-mail.

Click 'Next'

Internet E-mail address

Enter your full e-mail address

Click 'Next'

e-mail Server Names

Make sure you have 'POP3' selected for the incoming mail server type.

Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP, or HTTP) server: pop.can.rogers.com

Outgoing mail (SMTP) server: smtp.can.rogers.com

Click 'Next'

Click 'Next'

Click 'Finish'

If you are not there already, please go to the 'Tools' menu, click 'Accounts...' and click on the 'Mail' tab at the top. You should see your new account listed here. Select it and click 'Properties'

Click the 'Servers' tab.

Under Outgoing Mail Server:
Put a checkmark beside 'My server requires authentication'

Click on the 'Settings...' button to the right

Select 'Use same settings as my incoming mail server' and click 'OK'.

Click 'OK' and then 'Close'. You now should be able to send and receive e-mail.

Can't Send Email?

If you can receive email but you can't send email after following the instructions above, you will need to change your outgoing mail (SMTP) port from the default of 25 to 1025.

To do this:

Click on 'Tools' then 'Accounts...' then select the 'Mail' tab. Highlight the account you wish to change and click the 'Properties' button followed by the 'Advanced' tab.

Now, under Server Port Numbers change 'Outgoing server (SMTP)' from 25 to 1025.
