FAQ Outlook Email

Please note

If you have already setup SMTP in another application such as Eudora or Netscape you can import the mail settings from another client by going to File --> Import --> Mail Account Settings. You may find this may save you the hassle.

By the way, use your ISP's SMTP account whenever possible - it is faster.
