In this article, we will introduce how to configure Outlook Express mail client to send and receive mails on AAMail.

Suppose your AAMail account is aaa@123.com, server IP is 192.168.1.1.

The specific steps are as follows.

1) After running Outlook Express, click the "Tools - Accounts...".

2) In the pop up "Internet Accounts" dialog box, select the "Mail" tab, and then click "Add - Mail..." (Figure 1-1).

Please note that AAMail supports multiple domain names, so the account name should include the full name of domain name suffix, and then click the "Next" button (Figure 1-5).

Up to this point, you can send and receive mails from Outlook Express now.

Note: In order to avoid mail server being used badly by some spammers, AAMail requires SMTP authentication. If you do not select the "My server requires authentication" check box, Outlook Express can only receive mails but not send mails.
