Please follow the instructions below to setup Outlook Express to send and receive
email from your servers:
(NOTE: Where you see "mail.cozahost.com" replace that server name with
the server assigned to you - typically this will be "mail.your_own_domain_name.co.za")
First, open Outlook Express and click on the "Tools" menu option. Then select
the "Accounts..." menu option.
Outlook Express will now display a list of all the different accounts you
have.
Now click on the Add button and select the Mail... option
1. Create a new mail account
Enter any name (as you would like your name to appear in email you send) in
the Display name field and click the Next button.
2. Email
address
In the "E-Mail address" field, enter a valid email address (you can add more email addresses
when you login on here).
Now click the Next button.
3. Email
server names
In the "Incoming mail server" area enter
mail.your_domain_name.co.za or the server assigned to you.
In the "Outgoing mail server" block, also enter
mail.your_domain_name.co.za
or the server assigned to you.
Now click the Next button.
4. Mail
logon id and password
In the Account name area, type the user id as supplied by Cozahost or
as created in your control panel.
In the Password area, type the password as supplied by Cozahost or as
created in your control panel.
Make sure the "Remember password" box is ticked and press the Next
button.
5. Almost
done!
Click the Finish button, but there is one more thing to do...
6. Now
edit the account
Click on the "Tools" menu option and then select
the "Accounts..." menu option again.
Select the account we just created (click on the "Mail" tab first to
make it easier to find) and then click on the Properties button.
7. Server
settings
Click on the "Servers" tab and then tick the box next to "My
server requires authentication"
This is a very important step. You will not be able to send email
unless you do this.
Note that "Logon using secure password authentication" must not be
ticked.
Now press the Ok button, and then press the Close button to
return to Outlook Express.
Congratulations! You configured your email account!
