| Setting up Outlook Express for Windows |
Outlook Express is a POP email software from Microsoft which is available on both Windows and Macintosh platforms. This graphical tutorial shows you how to configure Outlook Express to retrieve mail from your web site email account. The following screen shots are taken with Outlook Express 5 on Windows 2000, but they should be very similar to other versions on different operating systems.
