To configure your Outlook Express or any other e-mail client, you need to know your POP3 and SMTP servers. For these you will need to use "mail.yourdomain.com". Replace "yourdomain" with your domain name (eg. www.microsoft.com = mail.microsoft.com). For a MyNetWire email address, use mail.mynetwire.com.
