Learn Vista - Adding an e-mail Account in Windows Mail

Adding an e-mail account in Windows Mail is easy enough. But before doing that, you must know the incoming mail (POP3 or IMAP) server and outgoing e-mail server (SMTP) name, as well as your e-mail name and password.

To add an e-mail account:

- Open Windows Mail. (Click Start menu > All Programs > Windows Mail).

- Click the Tools menu from toolbar, and then click Accounts.

- On Internet Accounts window, click Add button.

- Choose E-mail Account, and then click Next button.



- On next window, type your name, and then click Next button.

-
On next window, type your e-mail address, and then click Next button.

-
On next window, choose the incoming e-mail server type, whether POP3 or IMAP. Then type the server and the SMTP name.
(If you don't know about them, go to your e-mail website and find them there. Or just search through Google!)



-
On next window, type your e-mail username and password, and then click Next button.

-
On next window, Click Finish button to start setting up your account and downloading your e-mail. If you don't want to download your e-mail at that time, select the Do not download my e-mail at this time check box.



- Then you'll see your account in the list. Just click the Close button.
