Outlook Express is an e-mail application included with Internet
Explorer 4.0. When you installed Internet Explorer 4.0,
it may have taken your current e-mail settings to be used for
Outlook Express. If it isn't, or if you would like to add an
e-mail address to Outlook Express, follow the procedure below.
You can configure Outlook Express to check as many e-mail addresses
