Creating the Additional Inbox using a new Identity
To add an additional e-mail address with a separate Inbox, you first need to create what is called an Identity. Once you have created separate
identities, you can switch between them to check the separate Inboxes.
To create a new Identity, first open Outlook Express.
click "File", "Identities", "Add New Identity"
Type the name of the new Identity.
Click "OK", then "Yes" if you want to switch to that new Identity. Outlook Express will now be loaded with this new Identity and you can enter the information that
the "Internet Connection Wizard" asks for.
Configuring the new Email Address to use the New Identity
Type your name in the Display Name field. This is the name that others
will see in the From field when they receive e-mail from you. Typically
this is your first and last name.
Click Next.
Type in your e-mail address.
Typically this will be as newemail@visionsix.com where newemail is the address
you chose to use.
Click Next.
Your incoming e-mail is POP3.
Type in the name of the Incoming and Outgoing Mail Servers: mail.visionsix.com
Click, Next.
Your e-mail name should appear in the Account Name field.
Type in your password (case sensitive) in the password field.
Click Next.
Click Finish.
You should now be set up to read and send e-mail using your VisionSix
Internet e-mail address
