How do I set up microsoft outlook express as my secondary e-mail?

I've tried to send messages in the past and I keep getting an error message. I already have it on my pc, but have never used it.

How do I set up microsoft outlook express as my secondary e-mail?
I have a page which explains how you can set up Outlook Express to access your mail provider's servers but please note the following:





- Not all webmail providers allow mail clients (e.g Outlook Express etc) to access them. Reason: They won't be able to show you ads. This is ALWAYS true of free webmail accounts such as Yahoo and Hotmail.





To access mail via a client software, you must upgrade your free mail account to a paid version.





- There is a way of accessing mail called POP and another called IMAP.





99.999% of the people use POP but IMAP is absolutely superb. Why doesn't eveyone use IMAP? Reason: They just don't know about it!





IMAP allows you to have your mail on your webmail provider's server AND on ALL of your computers that are set up to acces your webmail account. AND they will all look the same and will be completely in sync with each other.





You will have the choice to use the web (if away from your home or your PC) or use your PC. It makes no difference and hey all synchronise with each other all the time.





POP will grab your mail from your provider's server and places it on the PC that accessed the server first. After that the mail pulled in this way ONLY exists on that one PC!





The only thing is that "some" backward webmail providers do not provide the IMAP way of accessing. Most do now adays.





Note: setting up IMAP is exactly the same as setting up POP. Anyway the process is explained in this document on my site:
