The Account Management section will be opened. To create another mail account, click on the tab marked "Mail," then click on the "Add" button and select "Mail...."

This action will open the new mail account wizard. Please Note: Depending on your operating system, the following instructions could differ slightly from what you are seeing on your screen. At the very least, the process will be the same.

1. Enter your name the way you would like other Internet users to see when you send e-mail messages. Click on Next.

2. Enter your E-mail address. Your E-Mail address is your User name [eg: jsmith] followed by Total Net NH's domain name [totalnetnh.net]. Separated by an '@' symbol: jsmith@totalnetnh.net

Click on Next.

3. Total Net NH's incoming mail server is a POP3 server. Select POP3 from the option list. The name of the Incoming and Outgoing mail servers at Total Net NH are: "mail.totalnetnh.net". Enter this in lower case letters, then click Next.

4. The Log on details are the same as when you dial-into Total Net NH. Your username should be entered in lower-case letters in the "POP Account" name field and your password entered in the "Password" field. Click Next.

5. Your mail account has been successfully configured. Click finish to begin sending and receiving e-mail using Outlook with your new settings. Click Finish. You will be returned to the Account Management section of Outlook.

So, we've just finished creating our new email account, but we have to tell Outlook Express on how to handle it. The first thing you have to worry about is whether you want your new accounts mail to come in when you check your mail for your already existing account.

By default, Outlook Express sets it so that each time you click on the Send and Receive, every one of your additional email addresses will be checked as well. Sometimes, this isn't what we want to do. To change this, we need to be in the Account Management section (which is where you should be right now).

Select the new account that you created, and click "Properties" on the right. At the screen which pops up, you'll want to uncheck the "Include this account when doing a full Send and Receive".

The second thing you'll need to do is to tell Outlook Express which account you want as the "Default". This means that whenever you open Outlook, or send and receive messages with Outlook, it will always default to this account.

If you're still on the Properties screen from the step above, click on "OK" down near the bottom, and take a look at your Account Management screen.

On your right, you will see a button named "Set as Default". Strangely enough, if you select the account you want to use as your default, and then click on this button, you'll be all set.

To check a specific account for mail, you should go to your "Tools" menu, and select the "Send and Receive" with the arrow to the right of it. This will pop up a menu with the names of any accounts you created. You will find a similar pop up menu within the File menu of any new messages you start writing.
