1. Switching Outlook Express' E-Mail Servers

1.1. Configuring Your Mail Account

You will need to start Outlook Express to configure your e-mail account. Do not enter your password at the password prompt, but cancel instead.

Once Outlook Express has started, and you are at the main screen, Choose the option Accounts from the Tools menu.

At the window that appears, switch to the Mail, then select your mail account and click on the button Properties. This opens a configuration window.

1.2. Configuring Your E-Mail Account

On the window that appears, you need to set the Incoming Mail (POP3) server to pop3.phdcomputing.net. Set the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) server to smtp.phdcomputing.net. Please also make sure the Account Name is set to your full e-mail address.

To complete the switch, exit Outlook Express and restart.
