1)  Open Outlook Express.
Outlook Express and Internet Explorer are included with Windows. If you see an Outlook Express icon, click on it. If you don't see an icon, click on the "Start" button and "Programs." Then click on "Outlook Express."

(If a "Wizard" starts, skip to step 4)

2)  Find the mail accounts.
Click on:
Tools,
Accounts,
Mail (tab)
(Remove any unwanted accounts by right-clicking on them and selecting "Delete.")

3) Start a "Wizard" to Add a Show-Me Net account.
Click on:
Add,
Mail

4) Fill in the blanks:

Display Name	Enter your real name here
E-mail Address	Enter your e-mail address here
My incoming server is a _____ server	POP3
Incoming mail server	pop3.showme.net
Outgoing mail server	smtp.showme.net
Account name	Enter your user ID here
Password	Enter your password ID here

5) Test your e-mail.
Send an e-mail from your computer to yourself.  This tests both the sending and receiving abilities of Outlook Express.  If you receive the message, your setup is correct.  Good job!
