This article assumes that you have already setup your email account in cPanel. This article will use example usernames, passwords and the server names, they will be displayed in bold, make sure you replace them with your own variables. You should also have already determined if you would like to use POP3 or IMAP.
This article assumes you are using an existing installation and will go through the process of adding a new account. If you have a new installation you will automatically be taken to the new account screen.
This article was written for Windows Mail 6.0, but should apply to any Outlook Express installation.

2. Click add, then select Email Account. Next.
3. Enter the name you want to show when you send emails. Next.
4. Enter the email address you are adding. Next.
