Setting Up Outlook Express to Get Your LACA E-mail From Home (Step-by-Step) Step 1: From inside Outlook Express, Choose Tools...Accounts. If this is the first time you have run Outlook Express, the Internet Connection Wizard should start automatically and you can skip steps 1 and 2. Step 2 : From the Internet Accounts Window, click "Add" then "Mail"
Step 3 : The Internet Connection Wizard opens. Enter your name as you would like it to appear. This is not your account name, but the name as you want it displayed when you send e-mail. Click "Next".
Step 4 : Enter the e-mail address assigned to you by LACA. This is your LACA username, with "@laca.org" added to the end of it. Click "Next".
Step 5 : Choose either POP3 or
IMAP for your incoming mail server. If you choose IMAP, make your incoming Mail Server "imap.laca.org". If you choose POP3, make your Incoming Mail Server "pop3.laca.org". Your Outgoing Mail Server will need to point to the outgoing mail server of your Internet Service Provider. You should be able to get this information from their website, or in documentation given to you when you subscribed to the Internet Provider. Here are some examples of SMTP server addresses for some local internet providers (please consult your Internet providers website for the true addresses in use...the list below is not complete):
Roadrunner : smtp-server.columbus.rr.com In the example below, this is the outgoing SMTP server used by RoadRunner in the Columbus area.
Step 6 : Enter your LACA username and password. If you want this computer to remember your username, check the box labeled "Remember Password". If you share this computer with someone else, it is not a good idea to choose the "Remember Password" option. Click "Next".
Step 7: Click Finish to complete setup.
Step 8: Click "Close" on the Internet Accounts window to return to Outlook Express.
