Do you have AntiVirus software installed? If not then get AVG for free here and be safe - not sorry.

	How to configure Outlook Express for our Free ISP POP3 Email We recommend using Outlook Express for your email however there are other free programs available such as Pegasus. Their setup however is very similar to Outlook Express Quick Notes: Ensure that you DO NOT enable Log on using Secure Password Authentication or My Server requires Authentication in Outlook Express - these checkboxes should be left unchecked!
	Outlook Express is installed by default on almost every version of Windows. You need to configure it before you use it. To start, open Outlook Express from the START menu. In the Menu Bar click on Tools and then Accounts.
	This will open this window . Note that you may have existing accounts from other ISPs in here. You can delete them if you are no longer using them. Click the Add button and select Mail to start to add a new account for Aardvaak email.
	This window should now appear. Firstly you need to enter your full name - this is what appears in the From: box of an email that is received from you. Click Next
	In this window you enter your full email address - don't make any mistakes because this is the email address that is replied to when someone tries to reply to an email that you sent to them! REMEMBER that we use @smartEmail.co.uk and not @smartmail.co.uk so double check your spelling. Click Next
	Aardvaak provides POP3 email so now enter the details of the Incoming and Outgoing mail servers. The name for the POP3 server (this is the server that stores your email ready for you to collect it) is called pop3.smartemail.co.uk and the SMTP server (this is the server that sends email to other people for you) is called smtp.smartemail.co.uk. Remember that ALL email must be sent out through our SMTP server, so even if you are collecting email from another POP3 server, you STILL send out through our SMTP server. Click Next
	The account name is the same as your dialup username and is also your email address (see note below) and so enter this and your password. Check the Remember Password box to save having to enter your password every time you check your email. Ensure that Log on using Secure Password Authentication is NOT checked! Click Next.	Note: Aardvaak allows you to setup multiple Email ALIASES as well as multiple Email Accounts (5 of them). An alias is simply another identity or email address that results in email being sent to the same Mailbox - so email sent to fred@smartemail.co.uk, dave@smartemail.co.uk and mary@smartemail.co.uk would all be sent to the your_name@smartemail.co.uk mailbox if they were setup as aliases. You would then set up filters in Outlook Express to send the email to different folders. You could also set up additional Mailboxes if you wanted different family members to each have their own email address. In this case email sent to fred@smartemail.co.uk would go to his mailbox, email sent to dave@smartemail.co.uk would go to his and mary@smartemail.co.uk would go to hers - you would set up a new Mail Account in Outlook Express for each person.
	You have now created the email account in Outlook Express so now click Finish.
	You now need to finish off the configuration so click on Tools and Accounts again and select the Account which is called pop3.smartemail.co.uk and using the right hand mouse button select Properties. Change the name to Aardvaak and then click on the Connection tab.
	Use the drop down menu to select the Aardvaak dialup account that you previously created. If you don't see one then you will need to create one by clicking here. Finally click OK and return to the main windows of Outlook Express. Click Send & Receive and if you have set everything up correctly you should get no errors. Try sending yourself and email to test that everything is working. You can also send an email to support@aardvaak.net and we will respond confirming that your email is working and correctly setup.
		HAPPY EMAILING!!
