Linux Hosting : Setting Up Outlook
How do I receive e-mail?
Your mail server is mail.yourdomain.com, where yourdomain is your domain name. To read your e-mail, you will need to use an e-mail program such as Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express.
How do I setup Outlook Express?
These directions should work for most recent Microsoft Outlook Express versions, running on Microsoft Windows 98 and later. There may slight variations due to different versions of the same program.
Launch Outlook Express
Under "Tools" select "accounts..."
Select the "mail" tab.
