Let us look at the steps which we need to follow for setting up your Always Online Email account in Outlook Express.
Note: When you open Outlook Express for the first time, you might be asked if you want to set it as a default email client on your system. Make sure you answer in the affirmative.

1. Start Outlook Express. Click on Tools in the menu bar and then go to Accounts
   
2. This brings up the Internet Accounts pop-up window. Click on the Mail tab, to bring it to the front if it is not already so. If you are starting Outlook Express for the first time, there would not be any email accounts listed on this window.

   Your incoming email server is POP3. 

7. The last information that you need to enter to complete the setup of the new account is the username and password for that email account. These login details are the ones we gave you when you set up your account.
   After completing the fields for Account Name and Password, click on the Next button.
   
8. In the following window, click on the Finish button to complete the process of setting up a new email account in Outlook Express.
