Outlook Express is a popular
POP email software from Microsoft which is available on
both Windows and Macintosh platforms. This tutorial shows
you how to configure Outlook Express to retrieve mail
from your Aust Domains email account. The following screen
shots are taken with Outlook Express, but they should
be very similar to other versions on different operating
systems.

Give your account a name

button. |

on "Send & Receive All." You should then
receive all your new email. |
