*Note: Until you run Windows Updates on your Windows 7 machine, there is no default email client installed. In order to access your email, you can either purchase Outlook, download a free mail program (such as Mozilla Thunderbird), or run Windows Updates on your computer (which will install Windows Live Mail). You can find instructions on how to configure Outlook Express and Outlook for your email above, or on Windows Live Mail below. 1. After running Windows Updates, open Windows Live Mail. To open this program, click on the Start Menu, then All Programs, the Windows Live folder, and then on Windows Live Mail. Once the program is up and running, click on Add e-mail account on the left-hand side of the window. Note: To create a shortcut icon for Windows Live Mail on your desktop, right-click on the program and select Send to --> Desktop.
2. Type in your email address and password from Untied in their respective fields, being sure to select remember password. Also type in your full name in Display Name, and select Manually configure server settings for e-mail account. 3. Make sure that POP3 is selected in the drop-down list, and type in the incoming and outgoing server names in their respective fields (see below). Enter the following server information if you are a Wireless Internet customer (if your email address ends with "@unitedwireless.com"): Incoming mail server: pop3.unitedwireless.com Outgoing mail server: smtp.unitedwireless.com Leave all checkboxes unchecked, as well as Login ID. Click Next.
