=Setting Up Outlook Express to Access a freecycle.org Mail Account=
 
Firstly, Start up Outlook Express, and Select '''Tools''' -> '''Accounts''' from the top menu 
[[Image:SetupOutlookExpress001.png]] 
 
This will open up the Internet Accounts tab. 
[[Image:SetupOutlookExpress002.png]] 
Select '''Add''' then '''Mail Account''' 
 
The "Account Wizard" will then start, and will ask for your name. This is as displayed to the recipient when sending mail. 
We usually suggest that this displays the Mailbox role/function, rather than your actual name. 
[[Image:SetupOutlookExpress003.png]] 
Then Click '''Next''' 
 
You will then be prompted to enter your full freecycle.org eMail address 
[[Image:SetupOutlookExpress004.png]] 
Then Click '''Next''' 
 
On the following screen, you will be prompted to define your server type and server names. Select '''IMAP''' as the server type, and '''mail.freecycle.org''' as both the incoming and outgoing server 
[[Image:SetupOutlookExpress005.png]] 
Then Click '''Next''' 
 
It will request your login and password for the server. Your login is your full eMail address, and the password is the password you defined when the mailbox was created. 
[[Image:SetupOutlookExpress006.png]] 
Then Click '''Next''' 
 
A Final confirmation page will then be displayed. 
[[Image:SetupOutlookExpress007.png]] 
Then Click '''Finish''' 
 
Once returned to the Accounts screen, you then need to highlight the "mail.freecycle.org" account and click the '''Properties''' button 
[[Image:SetupOutlookExpress008.png]] 
 
At this point, we suggest that you rename the mailbox from ''mail.freecycle.org'' to ''youremailaddress@freecycle.org'' - This allows you do identify which mailbox it is if you have more than one. 
[[Image:SetupOutlookExpress009.png]] 
Then Click on the '''Servers''' tab. 
 
Make sure that the '''My Server Requires Authentication''' box is ticked. 
[[Image:SetupOutlookExpress010.png]] 
Then Click on the '''Settings''' button 
 
Ensure '''Use same settings as my incoming server''' is selected 
[[Image:SetupOutlookExpress011.png]] 
Then Click on '''OK''', followed by the '''Advanced''' tab. 
 
Ensure that the outgoing mail (SMTP) port is changed from 25 to 587 
[[Image:SetupOutlookExpress012.png]] 
Then Click on '''OK'''
