How to get account settings from Outlook Express

Complete the steps below to get your account settings.

Step | Action
1 | Open Outlook Express. Select the Tools > Accounts option from the menu at the top of the screen to display a list of Internet accounts. This includes newsgroup and directory servers, but we are only interested in Mail servers for MailWasher Pro to use. Mail accounts say Mail in the Type column, and have an envelope icon next to the server name in the Account column.
2 | Select a mail account, select Properties from the options on the right and then select the Servers tab at the top of this new window. This tab displays the server settings needed by MailWasher Pro.
3 | Write down the Incoming Mail (POP3) server name, the Outgoing mail (SMTP) server name and the Account Name.
4 | If you have multiple mail accounts that you want MailWasher Pro to check, click OK and return to Step 2.
