Simply click on the drop down bar under "Use the following Dial-Up Networking Connection" and choose the connection you want to use. If your selection is not there, you can add one by clicking on "Add". When finished, click on OK and your Outlook Express should be ready to send and receive email! As we stated earlier, there are many settings throughout Outlook Express, and we are unable to cover them all, however this should help you get started on the mail part of it. Have Fun!
