In the first text box, for the "Incoming mail (POP3,
IMAP, or HTTP) Server:" type: pop.tiptonco.com

type: smtp.tiptonco.com

7. Make sure your account name is what you want it to be.
You can change it to something more familiar if you wish.
You can type your password into the second box, and check
the option to "Remember password" if you don't want
to have to retype your password every time you check your
email. The image below shows how to do this:
8. You have completed the initial setup steps. You might
want to double check to make sure all of the settings are
correct at this point. Simply double click on the new mail
account you made in the accounts list, and make sure your
settings correspond to your account, and the server settings
shown in the images below.
If you cannot find where your new email account is, click
on "Tools" in the top menu of Outlook Explorer,
and choose "Accounts" from the bottom of the dropdown
list. Then choose the mail tab. These steps are shown graphically
in steps two and three above.
Microsoft provides a generic
tutorial on setting up Outlook Express that might be helpful
for advanced setups.

What's my username and password?
Your username will typically be the first letter of your

as the last part. For example, if you name was Jane Marshall,
your username would be: jmarshall@tiptonco.com. Your password
is private and can be changed by you or the email administrator
