How do I
set up Outlook Express e-Mail using .iaf files?
These
are the instructions for installing a .iaf file into your Outlook Express program.
In this example the .iaf file is called "Joe Bloggs InternetDesign.com e-Mail
account.iaf". These instructions will work with earlier versions of Outlook,
but some of the names used may be a little different.
Launch
Outlook by double clicking on the icon for it. Select Tools then Accounts...
You
will see the Internet Accounts dialog box appear. Here you will select the top
tab marked "Mail", then the button on the right marked "Import"
(which has been highlighted in the image).
A
file window will open. Move to your Desktop (or wherever your .iaf file is saved)
and select the file, then click the Open button.
You
will now see that account in your list of Internet Accounts.
You
can now close this window. When you check your mail next, Outlook Express will
check your new account. If this is the e-Mail account that you are going to use
the most, you may want to set it as your default e-Mail account. Instructions
for that can be found here.
