| These
instructions will provide you with the necessary steps
to manage your e-mail using Microsoft Outlook Express
(version 5.5 or higher), using Valley TechNologies e-mail
servers (ref. version W).
It is highly
recommended to change your password immediately.
You can access your e-mail over the internet from
any web-enabled computer and change your password, as
well as access your e-mail when not at your own computer.

menu.

TOOLS / ACCOUNTS / ADD / MAIL...
3.
Click the Mail tab and select, click Add and select
Mail.
Note:
if you already have an existing account showing here
that you need to revise the settings, it will be easiest
to follow these steps to create a brand new account
per these instructions, then go back and "Remove"
the old account. You will not lose any e-mails that
you have downloaded to your inbox.

4.
Type the e-mail
address for your e-mail account, and click "Next".
6.
The incoming mail server is a POP3 server. The incoming
mail server is mail.yourdomain.com (replace the "yourdomain.com"
with your actual domain name). The outgoing
mail (SMTP) server is dictated by your Internet service
provider (ISP). Check their documentation or their
website to verify this information, and click "Next".
7. The account name
is the full e-mail address you entered in Step 6 above.
The password is the one created in the webmail
setup.
REMEMBER: To change
your password you must also change it in the webmail
program or you will not receive e-mails. Your
e-mail administrator cannot see your password. If
you forget your password, contact your e-mail administrator
to re-set it.
Do not check the
box for SPA. Click "Next".
8.
Click Finish on the next screen to complete the
set up.
9.
Send an e-mail to a friend or colleague, and let them
know to respond to it to test out both sending and receiving
the e-mail. If you have any problems, contact
your e-mail administrator.
10.
Finally, when completed, return to your email account.
Highlight the email and click properties (on the right
of the box).
a)
go to the "Advanced" tab
b) at the bottom
of the page you will see a "Delivery" area.
Click leave on server (we recommend no longer that
a few days) and also click remove from server after
(about) 2-4 days and click remove from server when
deleted from "Deleted Items".
