On Bob's PC we start his email client (Outlook Express) and add a mail account. Rather than show the add account wizard we are going to show how the account settings will look like after the account has been added. The General tab shows information about Bob. The important setting here is the email address - make sure that it is the same one as we set up in the Office Mail Local Distribution list - see Part 1 for how we did this.

We need to tell the account where to collect and send emails - ie we need to tell it where Office Mail is:

Incoming mail (POP3): Set this to the name of the PC with Office Mail installed (here it is PB700)*
Outgoing mail (SMTP): As above, this should be the name of the PC with Office Mail installed.*
Incoming Mail Server, Account name: This is the Office Mail username, bob
Incoming Mail Server, Password: This is the Office Mail password, in Bob's case it was bob


* If you are using an email client on a Mac or Linux PC you should use the IP address, not the PC Name.

If your email client allows, then it is wise to tell it that the connection is through the Local Area Network.

In Outlook Express we can now Send and Receive and collect that message for Bob.

Here is the email which Bob collected.

Bob can now send mail too, either to other local Office Mail users (internal) or to the outside world (external). To send external mail, we must set up external collecttion and delivery.
