Configuring your outlook express with your webmail id can drastically simplify the task of managing emails you receive and send.
Your Outlook Express can be configured to use your email by following some simple steps. If you have got a web mail, an email associated with a particular domain name you can configure that with your outlook express.
Start Outlook Express and go to “Tools” -> “Accounts”. Select the “mail” tab and Click on the Add button. From the menu select “mail”. Provide the Display name. Display name is the name that will appear as “From” when somebody receives your email. Click Next. In this section provide the complete email address.

You must know the mail server details in order to configure that on Outlook express. For web mail, the server details can be had from the hosting service. Usually it starts with mail.domainname.com.
