To setup Outlook Express to send and receive mail through AlamedaNET, double-click the Outlook Express icon on your computer. Click on the Edit menu, then select Preferences. If you have not used Outlook Express before, it may start the New Account wizard automatically. If it does not, click on the New Account button.

In the New Account window that opens, fill in the Account name with your username, click on the dot beside POP, then click OK.

You will now find yourself in the Preferences window with three sections to fill out.

Account information section:

• Full Name: your name
• email Address: your alamedanet.net email address
• Organization: this can be left blank

Sending Mail section:

• SMTP Server: mail.alamedanet.net

Receiving Mail section:

• Account ID: your Alamedanet.net username
• POP Server: pop.alamedanet.net
• If you do not want to have to type in your password every time you check for email, click on the checkbox beside Save Password then fill in the Password box with your password.

Outlook Express is now configured to send and receive your Alamedanet.net email.

If you have any trouble setting up for email please feel free to contact our Technical Support department at 1-888-207-0204 or via email to tech@alamedanet.net.
