2. In the "Internet Accounts" dialog box, click "Add," and then click "Mail"

3. In the "Display Name" box, type the name you want others to see when you send a message, and then click "next"

4. In the "E-mail Address" box, type the e-mail address for the account you are using (for example, "janedoe@account.com"), and then click "Next"

5. Under "E-mail Server Names," select the appropriate incoming mail server type (POP3 is the default type), and then type the names of your incoming and outgoing mail servers. Click "Next." NOTE: This information is provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you do not know this information, contact your ISP.

6. Depending on your login type, either type you POP account name and password in the "POP Account Name" and "Password" boxes, or click "Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SAP)." Click "Next." NOTE: Contact your ISP to determine which login type you should use.

8. Click the connection type that you use to connect to the Internet and then click "Next."

If you click "Use my phone line to connect," you are prompted to either crate a new Dial-Up Networking connection or use an existing one. If Dial-Up Networking has been configured for your ISP, click "Use an existing dial-up connection," click the name for you Dial-Up Networking connection in the list, and then click "Next."

If you click "Connect using my local area network (LAN)" or "I will
