Email Setup Instructions

Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express
These instructions are specifically for Outlook, but the
information below will also work for Outlook Express or
other email providers.

Double-click the icon to start the program.  Upon opening, go to the "Tools" and then "Accounts" menu.  If the program has never ran before, it may begin to ask specific questions about how you want to set it up.  If so, simply answer what it is asking and use the following as a guideline on what to put in the respective fields.

Click "Add" and then "Mail".  Enter your name in the "Display name" field.  Click Next.

Enter your email address.  (Your new one in the following format:  scassin@wrtfd.org obviously substituting my name for yours using your first initial and last name).  Click Next.

Make sure "Pop3" is selected as your incoming mail server at the top.  Enter the following information in the incoming and outgoing mail server fields and then click Next.

                                Incoming mail:  mail.wrtfd.org
                                Outgoing mail:  mail.wrtfd.org

Enter your full email address as the account name (ie. scassin@wrtfd.org).  Enter your password in the password field.  Use the same password you use to log in to the computers at the fire department and then click Next.

Select the method you use to connect to the Internet.  Most of you will be by phone line and if you're fortunate enough to have a cable or DSL connection you will use the LAN option.  Click Next and then click Finish.

You're Done!  You can now click on "Tools" and then "Options" to play with some of the settings to customize your experience.
