Outlook Express 6
SYMPTOMS
Please follow the directions below for setting your email client up to work with uniformmarket.com if you're using Microsoft Outlook Express 6 (The version included in Windows XP).
SOLUTION
You need to be viewing the "Internet Accounts" window. This window often pops up the first time you run Outlook Express but not always. If it does not, or you have already configured an account and need to add your uniformmarket.com account to Outlook, or if you need to change your settings on your existing uniformmarket.com account to match current recommendations, you can find the "Internet Accounts" window by clicking on "Accounts" in the "Tools" menu. Existing customers reconfiguring will want to have the "Internet Accounts" window open and then skip down until you see "Existing Customers Begin Here" in red letters.
- Click the "Add" button in the upper right corner of this Internet Accounts window and select "Mail".
- On the first screen, you will be able to configure how your name appears to people you send email to, this is the "Display Name" and is not your email address. It can be your real name, your company name, or even a combination like in our example picture below. Click "Next".
- The next screen is your actual email address. This will be the one you send and receive from. Click "Next".
- Select POP3 as your account type. IMAP is available for advanced users but please understand its limitations before using it. The mail servers you enter here will traditionally be mail.
.com for both where you replace with your actual domain name hosted with uniformmarket.com, in our example we've used mydomain.com as the customer's domain name. Click "Next". 
- This screen is where you will need to configure your account settings for allowing you to check your email. What Outlook Express calls the "Account name" is what we call your username; in the case of uniformmarket.com, your username is your entire email address. Your password is the one you set via our email administration web page or what was given to you by the person who manages email accounts for your domain. Click "Next".
- Click Finish, but you're not done. Unfortunately Microsoft does not put all the settings you need in the normal setup screen. Existing customers changing their account settings will want to start with the next step as well.
- Existing Customers Begin Here
You should still have your "Internet Accounts" window open but now your new email account will be showing there. Highlight it by clicking once on its name and then select the "Properties" button.
- Click on the "Servers" tab. The important part you need to change here is placing a check mark in the box labeled "My server requires authentication". After checking that, select the "Settings" button next to it.
- Please select "Use same settings as my incoming mail server" and then click okay. Do NOT check the box that says to "Log on using Secure Password Authentication".
- Once you finish configuring that, click the OK button and then another OK button on the email account properties screen. That should complete the setup and allow you to start sending and receiving email with uniformmarket.com.
