Setting up Outlook Express

If you see an Internet Connection Wizard when you open Outlook Express, please skip to Step 3.

On the top menu, click Tools, then "Accounts..." If you already have an account set up and want to enable a secure connection (SSL), proceed to Step 8.

Click on the Mail tab, then click on Add. Select "Mail..." from the menu that pops out from the Add button.

Type in your name and click Next.

Type your full email address and click Next.

Type mail.digicom256.com into both the Incoming and Outgoing server boxes and click Next. If you have an email address at digi-comm.com, replace mail.digicom256.com with mail.digi-comm.com.

For the account name, type your full email address. Type your password and (optionally) click the checkbox next to "Remember password." Then click Next.

Click Finish to save the settings.

In the Internet Accounts window, be sure your account is selected. Then click Properties.

In the Properties window, click the Servers tab. Near the bottom, click the checkbox next to "My server requires authentication."

(This step is optional, but highly recommended)
Click the Advanced tab at the top, then click the two checkboxes next to "This server requires a secure connection." Change "Outgoing Mail (SMTP)" to 465 and make sure "Incoming Mail (POP3)" is 995.

Click Apply then OK to close the Properties box. Click Close on the Internet Accounts window. To check your email, click the "Send/Recv" button at the top of the main window. If you followed Step 10, you will receive a warning message as shown below each time you send or receive mail. It is safe to click Yes.

To reduce the load on the mail server, we recommend changing how often email is checked automatically. Click Tools in the top menu, then "Options..."

Change the interval to at least 30 minutes and click OK.
