How to add an email account to Windows Mail in the Vista operating system. These instructions apply to any email domain owned by Lucketts.net, except for @lucketts.net. This also applies to any private domains that Lucketts.net is hosting for you.

Step 1: Start Windows Mail, select "Tools", and then select "Accounts" from the menu bar.

Step 2: Any account already set up will appear here. Select "Add".

Step 3: The Wizard will ask what kind of account you would like to add. Select "Email Account" and push "Next".

Step 4: The Wizard will ask you for the display name for this account. Choose what you want other people to see in the FROM line when they get your email. Push "Next".

Step 5: Enter your full e-mail address and push "Next".

Step 6: Select "POP3" for the incoming e-mail server type and enter "home.lucketts.net" for both the incoming and outgoing mail servers. Check the box "Outgoing server requires authentication" and push "Next".

Step 7: Enter your username and password. Your username is your email address with the @ symbol replaced by a period. For example, the username for test@taylorstown.net is test.taylorstown.net.

Enter your assigned password. You can change your password online at our website. When you change it there, you will have to come back here and change it to match.

Select "Remember Password" if your computer is secured to your satisfaction. This is not required.

Select "Next".

Step 8: Only check the box "Do not download my e-mail at this time" if you do not want your e-mail downloaded from the server yet. Push "Finish".

Step 9: The Wizard will go back to the Accounts screen. Highlight the account that you just created and push "Properties".

Step 10: In the Properties window, select the Advanced tab. Check the box "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)" for both the incoming and the outgoing mail. Push "OK".

Your email account is now ready to use. If you get security errors, add the Lucketts.net Security Certificate with these instructions. Now you're done.
