Outlook and MSN E-Mail

[Guest]

Using Outlook connector, can i "feed" both of my MSN e-mail accounts into
Outlook and receive and send e-mail from Outlook? If so, how?

Yes. Are you running into problems doing it?

I'm relatively "non-tech" and find that sometimew I think I can do something,
start and in the middle run into a glitch or dead-end and find myself dead in
the water until I get expensive outside help. Is there a resource you can
suggest for making this connection?

I also have a web site that does not have e-mail sending capability. I am
told that I can set-up Outlook so that I can use the URL
(IncreasingFundraisingPerformance.com) something like
"(e-mail address removed)". Do you know anything about
this? It sounds to me like it might be bad information.

Thanks for your help.

After you install the connector and start outlook a wizard kicks in asking
for your email address etc. To add a second, follow the wizard that comes up
when you click the button to add a new account in tools, accounts.

On the second question - I'm not totally sure I understand the problem. If
your website has an email server you can configure outlook to collect the
mail from it. If the website doesn't offer email accounts, then you need a
host who offers email too.

If you want people who visit it to be able to send you email, you can create
a link in the format of mailto:[email protected] - visitors can click it to send
you email. Note that this will result in a lot of spam.

According to lookups on this domain you got it through Go Daddy, you'd need
to set up email via them if they still host the domain. Their usual
practice is to have at least one free email address with a domain, so you
need to poke around their site with your login information to find that.

Once you have an email mailbox set up for the domain you'll get
instructions on how to receive the mail - this information will need fed
into Outlook to dowload the mail from their POP3 server. Go Daddy have
spam filtering on their email, so you should be safe to publish the address
on your website.
