1) The first step in checking and changing your E-mail connection and settings is to open up Outlook Express by going to 'Start > Programs > Outlook Express', or by double clicking the Outlook Express icon on your desktop.
2) Once Outlook Express is open click on the 'Tools' menu item then click on the 'Accounts...' option that is listed.
3) Once the Internet Accounts window is open select the tab labeled 'Mail' then select the correct E-mail account under the 'Account' section. Once selected the Account will be highlighted with a blue box around it.
4) Then click the button to the right that is labeled 'Properties'.
5) In the Properties window under the tab labeled 'General' make sure that your E-mail address is entered in both the 'E-mail Address' and the 'Reply Address' fields.
6) Then click on the tab labeled 'Servers'. Make sure that the
Outgoing mail (SMTP) reads: smtp.kconline.com
Incoming mail (POP3) reads: pop3.kconline.com
If you are a whitleynet.org user your Incoming and Outgoing mail settings will both read
mail.whitleynet.org
