= How To Set Up An Email Program To Use An Ella-Associates Email Account

NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR/MESSENGER 4.61

  In Netscape Navigator or in Netscape Messenger, click on the 'edit'
  menu item. Now click on the 'preferences' menu item. In the left-hand
  panel of the new window which appears, click on the small cross which
  is next to the phrase 'Mail & NewsGroups'. In the list that appears
  below the 'Mail & NewsGroups' Item, click on the 'Mail Servers' item.

  In the right hand panel of the window, click on the button which 
  is labelled 'Add'. In the new window which appears, click on the 
  general 'tab' (it is probably already at the front of the window).

  In the text-box labelled 'Server Name' type 'ella-associates.org'
  (all lower case).

  In the box labelled 'Server Type', click on the small black triangle
  (or 'down arrow') at the right hand edge of the box, and choose
  'Pop3 Server' from the list.

  In the text box labelled 'User Name' type the FIRST PART of the email
  address which you wish to receive (and for which you know the password).
  This is normally just your email address.  For example, if the email
  address you wish to receive is called 'mail@ella-associates.org', type
  'mail' in the 'User Name' box.

  Click in the small box which is labelled 'Remember Password'
  Click in the other small box labelled 'Check For Mail Every [15] minutes'

  Click on the button at the bottom of this window which is labelled 'OK'.
  This 'registers' everything which you have just entered.

  In the top text-box of the right-hand panel which is labelled
  'Incoming Mail Servers' you should now see the text 
  'ella-associates.org'. If not, please go back and repeat the previous steps.

  Now, in the box which is labelled 'Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server', please
  type 'ella-associates.org', and in the box below that which is labelled
  'Outgoing mail server user name', please type, again, the first part
  of your email address (which is the same as you entered previously).

  Now, in the left-hand panel, click on the word, 'Identity' which is 
  directly under the 'Mail & NewsGroups' Item.

  In the right-hand panel, in the box labelled 'Your Name', type your
  name, or something similar. And in the box labelled 'Email Address'
  type your email address.
  
  Finally, click on the button at the bottom of the window, which is labelled
  'OK'. This is important since it 'registers' all the stuff you have just
  done.

  NOTES:
    you may be wondering why you didn't have to enter the password for you
    account any-where. You will be 'prompted' for your password the first
    time that you try to send of receive an email.

    It appears that in Netscape Messenger you can't receive email for
    two different accounts if the accounts use 'POP3' (which ella-associates.org does).
    

OUTLOOK EXPRESS

  In the main window, click on the 'tools' menu item, and then click on the
  'Accounts' sub-menu item.

  Now, click on the button which is labelled 'Add' and is at the top right
  hand corner of the window which has just appeared. From the menu which
  appears choose 'mail'. 

  A 'wizard' appears (which is just a sequence of windows which ask you simple
  questions). In the first window of the wizard type your name and click on the 
  button at the bottom of the screen which is labelled 'next'
  
  In the second window of the wizard, click in the small round white spot which
  is labelled 'I already have an email address which I would like to use'

  In the box labelled 'Email Address' type your email address, for example,
    mail@ella-associates.org   or   simpleton@ella-associates.org
  Click on the button labelled 'next'.

  Now in the box labelled 'My incoming mail server is a', leave the selection
  as 'POP3'. 

  In the  box below that one, labelled 'Incoming Mail (POP, IMAP, HTTP) Server'
  type 'ella-associates.org', and in the box below that one, type the same thing
  again, 'ella-associates.org'. Click on the button labelled 'next'.

  In the next window, in the box labelled 'Account Name', type the first part
  of your email address. For example, if you address is 'simpleton@ella-associates.org'
  type 'simpleton' in the box. In the box labelled, 'Password' type your
  password.

  Click the button labelled 'next'. Click the button labelled 'Finish'
  In the old window, in the white box a new line should have appeared which
  pertains to the account that you just set up. The account will be called by
  the name of the mail server you entered, in this case 'ella-associates.org'.
  If such a line has not appeared, please go back and check the previous steps.
  

  There is one important thing which you still have to do, before you can send mail
  from this 'account' using Outlook.

  In the white box click on the name of the mail server which you have just set up.
  (That is: ella-associates.org), and now click on the button which is labelled
  'Properties' which is at the right-hand side of the screen. 

  In the new window which appears, click on the 'tab' which is labelled 'Servers'.
  In the small white box (check-box) at the bottom of the screen which is 
  labelled 'My server requires authentication', click in it so that a small
  black 'tick' mark appears. 

  Now click on the button which is labelled 'OK' which is at the bottom of the window.

  Thats it, you've finished. Well done.
