Outlook Express is an e-mail application
included with Internet Explorer. When
you installed Internet Explorer, it
may have taken your current e-mail settings
to be used for Outlook Express. Therefore,
Outlook Express may already be configured
with your ISP e-mail configuration!
If it isn't, or if you would like to
add an e-mail address to Outlook Express,
follow the procedure below. You can
configure Outlook Express to check as
many e-mail addresses as you like.
