Email Tips: Setting Up Mail In Microsoft Exchange Or Windows Messaging

 

The first time you run Microsoft Exchange/Windows Messaging, you will have to add an Information Service to a User Profile in order to be able to send and receive mail. Before you can add any information, the service must be installed.

When the Windows Messaging Setup Wizard appears, make sure the Internet Mail item is checked under Use The Following Information Services; then click Next.

Specify whether you will be connecting to the Internet mail service via a Modem or via a Network, then click Next. In the Specify The Name box, enter the name of your POP3 server (this your domain name).Click Next.

Choose either Off-Line operation (if you\\'ll be using a modem), or Automatic (if you\\'re on a network). Click Next. Enter your Email Address and Your Full Name in the spaces provided; click Next.

Enter your Mailbox Name (ie. your username). Click Next. You can change the location of your Personal Address Book if you prefer, or accept the default. If you already have a compatible Address Book, type in or browse to the path of your Address Book. Click Next.

Repeat step 7 for your Personal Folders, where your message files will be kept. Click Next.

On the last page of the Setup Wizard, click Finish. You are now ready to receive and send mail using Microsoft Exchange.
