Due to problems with viruses, we discourage use of Outlook Express; you should seriously consider getting a different email client or switching to webmail or pine. The following instructions are for the version of Outlook which comes with Windows XP Pro; instructions may vary.
Select Accounts... from the Tools menu, and then select Add and Mail.... Enter your name and email address when prompted. Select IMAP from the My incoming mail server is a ...server. pull-down menu. Type mail.simons-rock.edu for both the Incoming mail and Outgoing mail servers. Enter your username and password when prompted; uncheck the Remember Password option for increased security.
Further configuration can be done by selecting Options... from the Tools menu. Options to configure include setting Mail Sending Format under Send tab to Plain Text and Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus under the Security tab. Also, for added security, uncheck Show preview pane from Layout... under the View menu.
