Important: Ideal Access requires that your username and password be sent to the outgoing mail (SMTP) server. Outlook Express 4.0 and 4.5 do not support this functionality, and you will therefore only be able to receive mail. We recommend upgrading to Outlook Express 5.03 or later to solve this problem.

Step 1: Open Outlook Express.

Step 2: Select "Edit" followed by "Preferences".

Step 3: Configure the settings as follows:
