Setting Up Your Email Account in Outlook Express 5 or 6

These instructions will help you setup your email account in Microsoft Outlook Express 5 or 6. Customers' email addresses end in one of the following three domains:

  • clergy.net
  • ministersmail.com
  • spiritmail.net

Locating Account Configuration

In the main Outlook Express 6 window, go to the Tools menu and select Accounts. The Internet Accounts window will open.

Deleting Old Accounts

It may be useful to delete old and incorrectly configured email accounts before adding new ones. To do so:

  1. In the Internet Accounts window, select the Mail tab.
  2. Select the account you want to delete by clicking on it.
  3. Click the Remove button.
  4. Confirm that you want to delete the account by clicking the Yes button.

Repeat these steps for other accounts you want to delete.

Creating a New Account

In the Internet Accounts window, click the Add button and select Mail.

The wizard begins by asking for your name. Enter your real name here. When you email other people, this is the name they will see in the "From" line of your messages. Click Next.

The wizard next asks you for your email address. Type your complete email address and click Next.

Note: If you are using Outlook Express 5, this window will look slightly different. In that case, select I already have an email address that I'd like to use and then type your email address.

Select POP3 server in the dropdown. For Incoming mail (POP3) server:

  • If your email address ends in clergy.net, use mail.clergy.net.
  • If your email address ends in ministersmail.com, use mail.ministersmail.com.
  • If your email address ends in spiritmail.snet, use mail.spiritmail.net.

For Outgoing mail (SMTP) server (note: they are the same as incoming):

  • If your email address ends in clergy.net, use mail.clergy.net.
  • If your email address ends in ministersmail.com, use mail.ministersmail.com.
  • If your email address ends in spiritmail.net, use mail.spiritmail.net

Important: This is not part of this Setup tutorial. You will have to come back to this step. For outgoing mail you must set up Authentication. Once you have finished this tutorial, in Outlook, go to Tools, then Accounts. Highlight the appropriate account. Click on Properties. Click on the Servers tab. Check the box at the bottom under Outgoing Mail Server that reads My server requires authentication. Now OK out of the box. Now you will be able to send mail through our servers.

The wizard next asks you for the Account name (also known as your username) and password. If your email address ends in clergy.net, your username is your full email address, i.e. username@clergy.net. Otherwise, do not use your full email address as your username.

Enter your password in the Password box. Check the Remember password checkbox. Make sure that Log on using Secure Password Authentication is not checked. Click Next.

Click Finish.

You will now see your new email account listed on the Mail tab. Click the Close button to continue.

You should now be able to check your mail by clicking the Send/Recv button on the toolbar.
