Receiving E-Mail Messages with Outlook Express

Your ISP receives e-mail messages for you automatically, even when your PC is turned off. The ISP then stores your messages until you connect to the Internet and open your e-mail program to read them.

1Start Outlook Express.

2If necessary, click the Send/Recv tool on the toolbar to have your e-mail program get the new messages from all listed e-mail accounts.

3Click the Inbox folder to view the list of incoming messages. Messages not yet read appear in bold on the screen.

NOTE: In Outlook Express, the messages stay in your Inbox until you delete them or move them to another folder.

4Click a message once to view it, or double-click the message to expand it and read it in its own window.

For more information about using your e-mail program go to the Help menu within the program.

If Your ISP Provides the E-Mail Program

Follow the ISP’s instructions to install its Web browser and e-mail program, and to set up and use your e-mail account. You will then be able to send and receive e-mail when your PC is connected to your ISP.
