How to setup your VSM Mail account for Outlook Express

Please note your basic account settings:

Account Name: your full e-mail address
Password: enter your mail password

Inbound Mail Server / POP3: mail.vsm.net (or your dedicated email server address - check with VSM support)
Outbound SMTP Server: mail.vsm.net (however it is preferable you obtain this from your ISP. Example: Comcast or Sprint.)

1. Make Sure Outlook Express is running. From the top tool bar, click on the word TOOLS, the select ACCOUNTS from the drop down menu. The following screen will open. Then click on the ADD button from the upper right, and select MAIL.
   
   
   
2. The Internet Connection Wizard will open and prompt you for a name. This is what people will see when they receive your e-mail message as to who the message is from.
   
   
   
3. Next, enter your account settings. Your account name is your full e-mail address. Such as one of ours is user@vsm.net . Enter your password in the password box. If you have forgotten your password, you will need to contact VSM or your local network or computer administrator. Check the REMEMBER PASSWORD box, make sure Log on using a Secure Password is NOT checked and click NEXT.
   
   
   
4. The incoming mail server is POP3. From the Incoming Mail server, enter mail.vsm.net . Your outbound mail server information will usually need to be obtained from you dial up provider, broadband provider, or your network administrator.
   
   
   
5. Enter your full e-mail address.
   
   
   
6. That's it! You have successfully set up your new e-mail account for use.
