How to get account settings from Outlook Express

 

[ version 5.50.4522.1200 ]

Complete the following steps to obtain your account settings.

 

Step

Action

1

Open Outlook Express. Select the Tools > Accounts option from the menu at the top of the screen.

A list of Internet accounts displays. This includes newsgroup and directory servers, but we are only interested in Mail servers for MailWasher Pro to use. Mail accounts say "Mail" in the Type column, and have an envelope icon next to the server name in the Account column.

2

Click on a mail account. Select Properties from the options on the right and then select the Servers tab at the top of this new window.

This tab displays the server settings needed by MailWasher Pro.

3

Write down the Incoming Mail (POP3) server name, the Outgoing mail (SMTP) server name and the Account Name.

4

If you have multiple mail accounts that you want MailWasher Pro to check, click OK and return to Step 2.

 

See How to add a POP3 account manually to enter these settings into MailWasher Pro.
