1.From Start choose Windows Live Mail (it is assumed that you have used this program before so as the Internet Connection Wizard is not initiated).
2.Then go to Tools > Accounts
3.Click Add which is the first button on the right.
4.On the next window that appears select the checkbox at the bottom Email Account and then click Next.
5.On the next window Add Email Account, in the Email Address field, enter your full email address and enter your password in the Password field. In the Display Name field, enter a display name you want to display when you send emails from this account, and then click Next.
6.On the next window Internet E-mail Settings you are required to complete various fields related with your personal data, server and logon information:
Your Name: Enter your name, your nick name, or your company’s name depending on how you want to be displayed when you sent an email.
E-mail Address: Enter your e-mail address (in the example we are creating an email account for an imaginary email: [email protected]).
Account Type: Should be POP3 (this is the default option).
Incoming Mail Server: Your incoming server is mail.mydomain.com.au, where mydomain.com.au is the name of your domain.
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): You must use the Outgoing Mail Server Name of your current Internet Server Provider (ISP). An SMTP server is used by your email client (e.g. outlook) to send your mail. It is preferable to use the SMTP server provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), this is because some ISPs place restrictions on SMTP servers. As such, we provide the list below of the SMTP server of common Australian ISPs.
Username: The email address you have been given.
Password: The password is case sensitive. Decide if you want to check the "Remember password" field.
7.At this stage you have completed your email setup. The process is completed when you click Finish.
