How do I configure
the Outlook Express email program with my
FireFly email address for Windows?
1. With Outlook Express
opened, go to the Tools menu and select
Accounts option. Once the dialog box opens,
click on the Mail tab at the top, and then
click the Add button to the right of it.
This will start the Internet Connection
Wizard, which will take you through the
process for setting up Outlook Express.
2. In the first box, you
will be asked for your name. Enter it as you
would like it to appear on outgoing mail,
such as your First and/or Last Name, and
then click the Next button. From there, you
will be asked to enter your email address.
For this, input your address in the format
youremailname@fireflyuk.net, replacing
"youremailname" with your specific
name. Click the Next button.
3. The next dialog box
will prompt you for the Email Server Names.
At the top, make sure that it says My
incoming mail server is a POP3 server. For
Incoming mail (POP3) server, input the
following:
mail.fireflyuk.net
For Outgoing mail (SMTP)
server, input the following:
smtp.fireflyuk.net
Click the Next button.
4. The next dialog box
will prompt you for your Internet Mail
Logon. Enter your username in the POP
account name as yourname@fireflyuk.net.
Enter your password in the Password: field.
Please make sure these are input exactly as
they were indicated in your FireFly
confirmation letter, due to
case-sensitivity. Click the Next button.
5. You will then be asked
for a Friendly Name, which would be the name
for the mailbox you just created in Outlook
Express' list of accounts. Input the word
FireFly here, or whatever else you would
prefer. Click the Next button.
6. The next dialog box
will ask how you're connected to the
Internet. Please select Connect using my
phone line. Click the Next button.
7. In the next dialog box,
click the Finish button. You should now see
your entry in the list of accounts. Click
the Close button.

Once you have configured

Receive option.
Sending Email With Outlook
Express
To send a new message,
click on the Compose Message icon in the top

field, the subject of the message in the
Subject: field and the body of your message.
When you are done putting
your message together, click the Send icon
in the toolbar of the message window, or by
going to the File menu and selecting Send
Message option.
