SAFE2 READ - Windows Outlook Express Setup

 

Windows / Outlook Express

Outlook Express comes bundled with Microsoft Internet Explorer. These instructions assume that you are using Outlook Express 6 for Windows 98/Me/2000/XP. The configuration may be slightly different for other versions of Outlook Express.

1 In the File menu scroll down to Identities and select Add New Identity. This will start a wizard which will guide you through the process of setting up Outlook Express to handle your Safe2Read email. Note: If you have never started Outlook Express before the wizard may start automatically when you first run the program.
