Step 2. Once in the Accounts window, click on the Mail tab. Click on Add, and select Mail.
(If you opened Services instead of Accounts from the Tools menu, click Add after you have opened the window. Then select Internet Mail. Click OK.)

Step 3. When the Internet Connection Wizard appears, enter your name. Click on Next.

Step 4. Next, enter your e-mail address, e.g. username@eticomm.net. Click on Next.

Step 5. Enter the incoming (POP3) pop3.eticomm.net and outgoing (SMTP) mail.eticomm.net mail servers, and then click on Next.(If you are a Comcast customer, please use the Comcast server name here and not the ETI server.)

Step 6. Enter your username (not user@eticomm.net) and password as shown below, and then click Next.

Step 7. Click Finish to go back to the Accounts window.

With account highlighted click Properties button.

On Servers tab click "My server requires authentication", then click the Apply button. Then click OK.

To setup additional email accounts, please follow the same steps above starting from Step 2. If you have no additional email accounts to set up then you may proceed to configuring the Usenet News Group Server as follows. If you do not wish to access the Usenet newsgroups, you may click "Close" at this point to exit the Internet Accounts screen.

Step 8. Once in the Accounts window, click on the News tab.

Step 9. Click on Add, and select News.

Step 10. When the Internet Connection Wizard appears, check to make sure that your name appears as you wish. Add it or correct it if necessary and click on Next.

Step 11. Enter or correct your e-mail address. Click next.

Step 12. Type the news server name here: new.eticomm.net. Make sure that the check box labeled "My news server requires me to log on" is not checked. Click "Next."

Step 13. Congratulations, you have now finished setting up your newsgroup access. Click Finish to go back to the Accounts window.

Step 14. The news account "news.eticomm.net" should now be visible in this window. Click "Close."

Step 15. The first time you access the news server, Outlook Express will ask you if you would like to download a list of available newsgroups. Click "Yes."

Step 16. The list of available newsgroups is very long; while the newsgroups are being added to the list, you will see this screen:

Step 17. When the list of newgroups is fully loaded, this screen will appear. Scroll through the list to find newsgroups that interest you.

Step 18. When you find a newsgroup to which you'd like to subscribe, highlight it by clicking on it one time and then click on the button that says "Subscribe."

Step 19. When you have subscribed to a newsgroup, Outlook Express will mark the name of the group to make it easier to find when you return to the list.

When you have signed up for all the newsgroups you are interested in, click on "OK."

Step 20. The first time you use Outlook Express as a newsgroup client you may see this screen. If you do, uncheck the box and click on "Yes." You will return to the main Outlook Express screen and your newsgroups will be available for viewing.
