How to send and receive messages in an electronic mailbox

How to use Outlook Express

Outlook Express is not a provider of e-mail, it is a Windows operating system's own software that receives, sends, writes, and manages e-mails, a tool for collecting, sending, writing, and managing e-mail, and it is convenient to use it to send and receive e-mail.

Usually, after we register our email address on a certain website, we should send and receive e-mail, login to the website, enter the email webpage, input the account name and password, and then do the email receipt, send and write.

After you use Outlook Express, the order skips over. As soon as you open the Outlook Express interface, the Outlook Express program automatically works online with your registered email server to receive your e-mail. When you send a letter, you can use Outlook Express to create a new message that is sent online via the Web server. (All e-mail can be viewed offline) In addition, Outlook Express automatically stores the sender's e-mail address in the "Address Book" for later calls when it receives an email. Also, when you click on the email hyperlink in the Web page, (such as this online "Contact us" button) will automatically pop-up write mail interface, the new message has been automatically set up the other (recipient) e-mail address and your e-mail address, you just write the content, click "Send" can be.

These are our most commonly used Outlook Express features, of course, and there are many additional features, but we can use them first and then go further through the Outlook Express Help menu and other instructional materials for more proficient use of Outlook Express.

The key here is that we have to set up the Outlook Express account setting, which is not available, if it is not set. The content you set up is the email server of your registered website and the information of your account name and password. (When set, its settings are also entered in the Microsoft Outlook program account for Office software)
