We have designed this page for
users that are using the new Outlook Express that accompanies
Internet Explorer 4. Please follow this tutorial and you will soon be
sending and receiving Email and reading the thousands of Internet
Newsgroups that LiSP has available to it's members. Below you will
also find 2 registery files, that when double-clicked will install
our settings for you. All you need do then is to change a couple of
small items and your ready.
NOTE: This
will only work if you have Outlook Express installed. Please do not
use it if you don't!
Firstly, click
here to download
the registery file. When asked what to do, select save it. This way
you can copy it to a blank disk for future installations. Now go to
the folder that you saved it to, and double click it. Then start up
Outlook Express and click the TOOLS/ACCOUNTS
section from the top menu bar. See Image Below:
Select the ALL
Tab, and delete everything except
LiSP Email and My
Internet News,
until it looks like the following image:
Then select LiSP
Email and click
on the Properties
TAB. Make sure you are in the GENERAL
section, as outlined in the image below:
All you need to do is change the
section where it says NAME,
and put the name that you would like to appear on the recipients end
stating whom the message was from. This can be your full name,
company name or whatever you choose. Now type your usual email
address in the box where it says E-MAIL
ADDRESS. Then
move onto the next section selecting the SERVERS Tab.
Now where it says
ACCOUNT NAME,
type your username that you connect to LiSP with, and your normal
password in that section also, and the press OK.
That concludes the section for your E-Mail, so lets move on to the
News Groups setting:
Again select TOOLS/ACCOUNTS
from the top menu as you did in the first section above. Click
here if your
unsure. Now make sure you are in the ALL section and My Internet News
is highlighted. See the following image:
As we did with Email, select the PROPERTIES
tab. Your image should now resemble the following:
Now where it says NAME,
type your name that you wish to be known by in the Newsgroups as,
and your normal email address in E-Mail address section also. Then
select the ADVANCED tab, and it should resemble the image below:
All you need do now is tick the box
called Use
Newsgroups descriptions
as shown in the image and select OK.
Now back at the main screen, select with your mouse the title on
your left pane, My
Internet News. A
window will pop-up telling you that you are not subscribed to any
Newsgroups, and would you like to view a list of available
Newsgroups? Select YES and wait a minute or two for them all to
download. There are over 23,000 Newsgroups, so this may take a minute
or two. An image will be displayed as follows:
Okay, now we have a window with all
the displayed Newsgroups that are available. Now tick the box titled
Also search descriptions and we will look for anything that may help
us use Outlook Express a little better. Notice the image below.
We typed in the box Display
Newsgroups which contain outlook express, and we were lucky enough to
have a Newsgroups that can give us information on Internet Explorer
4. It's a public newsgroup, as it has the extension public. This is
how you can search for any newsgroup that might interest you. Say
your interested in dogs, type dogs in here and see what comes up. Now
we'll double click our mouse on it, and straight away we'll be
subscribed to this group. Notice the newspaper icon will appear to
the left of it? This lets us know we are subscribed. You can
subscribe to as many as you like this way. Now select the button
titled Go To to download the headers to this newsgroup. If a box
jumps up to say there are new Newsgroups, do you want to view them
now, select NO
as you can do that later. You can now start reading the news by
viewing your headers and clicking your mouse on one that interests you.

Outlook Express, be sure to read the Help file that accompanies the program.
