2. When the "Internet Accounts" window appears, click on the "Mail" tab. Click and hold on the "Add" button, moving your pointer over the "Mail..." label and release the mouse button.
3. The "Internet Connection Wizard" dialog starts, begin filling out the information it asks for: First, the name you want to appear on all your e-mails you send to people. Then click "Next".
4. Then enter in your E-mail Address. The general form for a FairPoint.net address is @fairpoint.net. Then click "Next".

7. Now, enter your full Email address in the Account name field, and the password for your e-mail account (you don't have to put in the password, but if you do, it will be automatically sent to the e-mail server everytime you connect to it so long as the check is in the box next to "Remember Password"). Then click "Next".
8. You should then end up at a window where "Finish" is an option. Click "Finish".
9. Now we are back to the "Internet Accounts" window, and you should see the account we just created appear there (make sure you're still on the "Mail" tab if it does not).
10. Click once on the account you just created, then click on the "Properties" button, you will see a window appear titled "YourUserID@fairpoint.net Properties" that has many tabs along the top. Click on the one that says "Servers". Verify that "My server requires authentication" is checked.

12. Make sure that you check "Log on using:" and you fill in your username (YourUserID@fairpoint.net) and password.
13. Click "OK" in this properties window, then "Close" in the "Internet Accounts" window. Finally, in the main Outlook Express window, answer "Yes" to the dialog box that asks if you want to download files from the mail server you just added.
