Email Setup

Windows NT did not come with Outlook Express by default. You may use any POP3/IMAP aware email program, such as Outlook Express, Eudora, and Netscape. If you had a dialup account with Wyoming.com prior to installing DSL, you will only have to make a change to your email program if you are using Outlook Express.

Outlook Express users:

• Open Outlook Express. If it tries to dialup, cancel the dialing process.


• Click on "Tools", click on "Accounts".


• Select the tab "Mail". Click on "Properties".


• Click on "Connection".
• Make sure the box next to "Always connect to this account using:" is not checked.


• Click on "Apply". Click on "Ok". Click on "Close".
