Checking Your E-mail Account

Return to Overview

If you want to set your current E-mail account to this machine, you can view what information is required for your E-mail software. This section describes the procedures for checking your E-mail account, using Outlook Express 6.x (the E-mail software included with Windows XP) as an example.


Remark
  • For Windows Mail (the E-mail software included with Windows Vista), you can check your E-mail account in the same way as for Outlook Express 6.x.

For Outlook Express 6.x:
  1. Start Outlook Express 6.x.
  1. On the [Tools] menu, select [Account] to open the [Internet Account] dialog box.
  1. Click the [Mail] tab.

  1. Select the account in use. Click the [Properties] button to open the [<Account name> Properties] dialog box.
  1. Click the [Servers] tab.
  • To confirm the necessary information for sending E-mails and I-faxes
  • 1. Confirm the SMTP server address in the [Outgoing mail (SMTP)] box.

If there is no need for authentication, proceed to Step 9.

If SMTP authentication is used, proceed to Step 6.

  • If your provider uses the POP before SMTP authentication method, you need the information required for the settings to receive E-mails and I-faxes.
  • To confirm the necessary information for receiving E-mails and I-faxes
  • 1. Confirm the POP server address in the [Incoming mail (POP3)] box, the POP address in the [Account name] box, and the POP password in the [Password] box. Proceed to Step 9.

  • If you want this machine to receive E-mails and I-faxes, you need another POP 3 E-mail account for this machine in addition to your current E-mail account. For details on how to obtain another E-mail account, consult with your internet provider or network administrator.
  • The typed password is hidden with bullets. To check the password, use a notification form delivered from your provider.
  1. Under [Outgoing Mail Server], click [Settings] to open the [Outgoing Mail Server] dialog box.
  1. Confirm [Account name] (user name authorized by SMTP server).

  • The typed password is hidden with bullets. To check the password, use a notification form delivered from your provider.
  1. Once you confirm all the information, click [Cancel] to close the [Outgoing Mail Server] dialog box.
  1. Click [Cancel] to close the [<Account name> Properties] dialog box.
  1. Click [Close] to close the [Internet Account] dialog box.

Proceed to "Settings from the Machine (E-Mail/I-fax)."
