Configuring your email software
Please follow these instructions to set
e-mail program to send and receive mail.
To configure your e-mail program
There are various email programs you can
use. The most common one is called OUTLOOK EXPRESS. Also common
are EUDORA and NETSCAPE MESSENGER. Some older versions of
Windows 95 use INTERNET MAIL or just OUTLOOK. If you are using
one of the other programs be sure to replace old settings
with our settings (you will need your username and password):
Type of Server: POP3
Server names (incoming & outgoing):
mail.bulkley.net
Your email address: username@bulkley.net
To set up OUTLOOK EXPRESS: (which
may already be on the DESKTOP or accessible through Internet
Explorer, Mail, Read Mail):
- Double click the OUTLOOK EXPRESS icon. It may start an
automatic set up, skip to #3, or you can start the set up
process by using #2.
- Click on TOOLS, ACCOUNTS, MAIL (if there are other mail
accounts you are not using, remove them now), ADD, MAIL.
- It will ask for your display name: enter whatever you
would like people to see when they get mail from you, click

MAIL SERVERS are both mail.bulkley.net, click NEXT.

to dial in), click NEXT. At this point you may be finished

click NEXT, click FINISH.
