NOTE: If you install and run MSN Explorer version 6, your MSN, the Microsoft Network, Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3) e-mail account is migrated to an MSN Hotmail account.

SUMMARY
This article describes how to configure Microsoft Outlook to send and receive e-mail using MSN, The Microsoft Network, version 2.5.
MORE INFORMATION
Use the following steps to configure Outlook after you install MSN with a POP3 e-mail server:
Start Outlook.
On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
Click Add a New e-mail account, and then click Next.
Select POP3 and then click Next
In the Your Name field under the User Information section, type the name that you would like to have appear on all messages that you send.
In the E-mail Address field, type the address that MSN has provided you with.
Your e-mail address usually takes the form of a combination of your first and last name, and the name of your Internet service provider (ISP), separated by the at (@) sign.
For example, John Doe uses MSN. In this case, MSN may assign an e-mail address of
johnd@msn.com
In the User Name field under the Logon Information section, type your POP3 account name.
This information is your Internet Mail Server account name. In some cases the account name may be that part of the e-mail address to the left of the at (@) sign.
Select the Check the Remember Password option, and then type your password in the Password field.
The password is your key to your e-mail server. Generally, you define your own password. MSN may have assigned an initial password; however, you should change it as soon as possible.
MSN requires Secure Password Authentication (SPA). Click to select Log on using Secure Password Authentication.
In the Incoming Mail Server (POP3) field under the Server Information section, type the incoming mail server name. The following is the incoming mail server name for MSN:
pop3.email.msn.com
In the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) field, type the outgoing mail server name. The following is the outgoing mail server name for MSN:
smtp.email.msn.com
NOTE: All server and address entries are typed in lowercase.
Click the More Settings button, and then click the Outgoing Server tab.
Click to select the My Outgoing(SMTP) server requires authentication check box.
Click Use same settings as my incoming mail server.
On the Connection tab, click to select the method that you will use to send and receive messages from the following list:
Connect Using My Local Area Network (LAN):
If you access the Internet through your existing network connection, click Connect using my local area network. Your network configuration must support access to the Internet. Some networks use proxies and firewalls to control Internet access. Please see your network administrator for more details.
If you select Connect via modem when Outlook is offline, Outlook will use the modem to connect to your mail server when the LAN connection is not available.
Connect Using My Phone Line: If you use your telephone line and modem connection to access your messages, click Connect using my phone line. Type the number for your local MSN connection.
