A Cute Internet email may also be configured for SMTP Authentication and SSL encryption for outgoing email. Please note that SMTP Auth and SSL are optional and are not required to use A Cute Internet email.

For further information and setup instructions, see the links below. NOTE: Please configure SMTP Auth or SSL after first configuring your email program for your A Cute Internet email.

  • SMTP Authentication
  • SSL Encryption (outgoing)
  • SSL Encryption (incoming)
  • Return to Outlook Express 5 & 6 main configuration page
    Return to main Mail & News page

    To configure your A Cute Internet Email account in Outlook Express 5 & 6:

    1. In Outlook Express, go to the Tools menu and select Accounts.

    2. Click the Mail tab. Click the Add button and choose Mail.

      Please note: If there are mail accounts for other service providers in the Accounts window that are no longer being used, please remove these accounts so they will not cause problems when sending and receiving A Cute Internet email. If you are still using email accounts for other service providers, we recommend you create a new identity for your A Cute Internet account.

    3. Enter your name in the Display Name field. This is how your name will appear when you send email. Click Next.

    4. Enter the your full email address. Click Next.

    5. The incoming mail protocol is set to POP3 by default. Leave this as it is to download your messages from the server so they are available offline. You can select IMAP to read messages directly on the server, but this is not recommended for most of our customers.

      Enter the appropriate mail servers in the Incoming and Outgoing Mail Server fields. Click Next. Click here for the list of A Cute Internet Mail Servers.

    6. Enter your email username or A Cute Internet email address in the format of username@ A Cute Internet.net in the Account Name field and your password in the Password field. Usernames and passwords are case sensitive. Do NOT check "Log on using Secure Password Authentication." Click Next.

    7. Click Finish and then click Close to close the Accounts window. Outlook Express is now configured to send and receive email.
