These instruction will help you create an additional e-mail account in Outlook Express Version 5 & 6.
The procedure detailed here is intended for one person using multiple NetDotCom email addresses. It stores all sent and received messages in one set of message folders.
If you need to store the messages from different account separately (business & personal or different family members) NetDotCom suggests you use the Identity feature of Outlook Express to setup multiple
Identities for each account or family member. Instructions for setting up multiple Identities can be located here.
Start Outlook Express 
Click on the Tools menu then click on Accounts.
The Internet Accounts window is shown below, currently on the "All" tab. Click on the Mail tab to view only the Email accounts.
Any email accounts will be listed in the Internet Accounts window shown below. If you do not use these accounts you should remove them to prevent errors. To remove any unused account, click on the account
name and click the "Remove" button.
To setup Outlook Express to access your NetDotCom account, click Add, and then Click Mail... This will start the Internet Connection Wizard.
The Display Name is is used to personalize your outgoing e-mail. People you send e-mail to will see your e-mail as being
'From' the name typed in below. Note: This is not the same as your e-mail address. Click Next to proceed.
Type in your e-mail address exactly as given to you by NetDotCom. Normally it should be in all small letters, however you can use capital letters to make it easier to read. No spaces
are permitted. Click Next to proceed.
Next, the Incoming and Outgoing mail server names need to be typed in. The following table indicates the proper mail server name to use based on your selected NetDotCom
e-mail address. After the information is entered, click Next to proceed.
