Again click on Tools at the top of your Outlook Express screen and then click on Accounts from the pull down menu. This time select the new account you just created and click on Properties. This will open up the dialogue box for the email account which you just created, and will give you the opportunity to specify some additional options. You will now see something similar to this:

There are five tabs at the top of the dialogue box, and a number of changes you can make to the properties of your email account by selecting a tab and changing a value. There are two specific changes that that you need to make before your new email account will work.

First click on the Servers tab. You will see a page similar to this:

Click on My server requires authentication and make sure that the box contains a tick. (Do not click on the box that says Log on using Secure Password Authentication).

Next click on the Advanced tab. You will now see a page similar to this:

Enter the number 587 as the Server Port Number for the Outgoing mail (SMTP) server.

Finally, click on OK and then click on Close.
