8. Click Next

9. In the E-mail Server Names screen below leave POP3 selected in the My incoming server is a POP3 server field
NOTE: Your e-mail accounts are of the POP3 variety.

11. In the Outgoing mail (SMTP) server field enter Enter your ISP's SMTP server to send emails. 

12. Click Next

13. In the Account name field place your DreamWorx hosted e-mail address. In our example the e-mail address is user@yourdomain.com.
** Type in your password in the Password field, check the Remember password field if you wish this feature to be enabled and click Next.

14. Click Finish to enter your DreamWorx Hosting e-mail address profile
The configuration process is now completed.

Reviewing Settings
1. The following screen will appear below. You may double check the settings for your profile by selecting the Account (in our example it is mail3.dreamworxhosting.net) so that it is highlighted in blue, and then click Properties. You may specify your Internet connection type in the Connection section of your account properties, or you may simply leave the default, Any Available setting selected. (Your account will be named by its incoming mail server and keep in mind that the profile below, mail3.DreamWorx.com, is simply an example. Your incoming DreamWorx Hosting mail server will be different.)

2. Click Close
Once you close the above window, the following main screen will appear.

The Inbox represents the folder to which your DreamWorx Hosting mail will be downloaded. To retrieve your e-mail from the incoming server, simply click on the Send/Recv button. This should download your DreamWorx Hosting e-mail and place it in your Inbox. You are now ready to send and receive e-mail using Outlook Express.

If, for any reason, you are unsuccessful retrieving e-mail when clicking on Send/Recv, please double check your settings as the problem most likely lies in using:

1. a misspelled username and password or

2. an incorrect incoming mail server
