Checking Your E-mail Account

Return to Overview

If you want to set the e-mail account you are currently using to this machine, you can view information required for the setting on your e-mail software in use. Taking Outlook Express 6.x (the e-mail software included with Windows XP) as an example, this section describes the procedures to check your e-mail account.


Remark
  • For Windows Mail (the e-mail software included with Windows Vista), you can check your e-mail account in the same way as for Outlook Express 6.x.

For Outlook Express 6.x:
  1. Start Outlook Express 6.x.
  1. On the [Tools] menu, select [Account] to open the [Internet Account] dialog box.
  1. Click the [Mail] tab.

  1. Select the account in use, then click [Properties] to open the [<Account name> Properties] dialog box.
  1. Click the [Servers] tab.
  • If you want to confirm the necessary Information for sending e-mails and I-faxes
  • Confirm the SMTP server address in [Outgoing mail (SMTP)].

  • If there is no need for authentication, proceed to Step 9.
  • If your provider uses the POP before SMTP authentication method, you need information required for settings to receive e-mails and I-faxes.
  • If SMTP authentication is used, proceed to Step 6.
  • If you want to confirm the necessary Information for receiving e-mails and I-faxes
  • Confirm the POP server address in [Incoming mail (POP3)], POP account in [Account name], and POP password in [Password]. Proceed to Step 9.

  1. Click [Settings] under [Outgoing Mail Server] to open the [Outgoing Mail Server] dialog box.
  1. Confirm [Account name] (user name authorized by SMTP server).

  • The typed password is hidden with "***". Therefore, use a notification form delivered from your provider to check the password.
  1. Once you complete confirmation, click [Cancel] to close the [Outgoing Mail Server] dialog box.
  1. Click [Cancel] to close the [<Account name> Properties] dialog box.
