These are brief instructions on how to set up your email account in Outlook Express.  The instructions will apply similarly to most other email programs, however.

======

In Outlook Express:
 
1) Go to Tools>Accounts>"Mail" Tab>Add>Mail
2) Enter a display name (Your name)
3) Select "I already have an email address I would like to use", and type in your email address (your full email address, all lower-case).
4) Select POP as your server type, and type in your website's domain name as both your incoming and outgoing servers (all lower-case, without the "www." portion; for example: <b>hurtdidit.com</b>) .
5) Type in your account name and password, and select "remember password" if you wish.  Your account name is your full email address, all lower-case.
6) Click "finish"

IMPORTANT:  don't skip these following steps!

7) Go back to Tools>Accounts>Mail, click on your new account, and click "properties" (on the right-hand side).
8) Click on the "servers" tab, then go and check the box next to "my server requires authentication"
9) Click "settings" and make sure that the radio button next to "log on using" is selected, and your username and password are in the appropriate fields (they are by default).
10) Save all these changes and test it out by clicking "Send and Receive".  

=======
 
When you click "send and receive" in Outlook Express, both your current and your new email addresses should be checked automatically (although you can change the options to check them separately if you want to).
