Windows 2000 - Email Setup

This walkthrough shows the Internet Connection Wizard which is activated from the desktop of a new installation of Windows 2000, and is only used to set up Outlook Express for the first time.

If you have already configured Dial-Up Networking or Outlook Express, see the walkthrough for Outlook Express 5 for Windows NT, 95 or 98, as it is identical to the Windows 2000 version.

USERNAMES & PASSWORDS
Usernames and passwords are case sensitive (MYusername is different to myusername, myPassword is different to mypassword) and should contain no spaces. Be sure your "CapsLock" is not on when typing them. These not only identify you to us as clients, but they are vital to your security for email and connectivity. Always keep your password stored in a secure place.
