   A new window will pop up.

4. Click on 'Outgoing Server(SMTP)' in the list.

5. Enter 'mail.texas.net' in the 'Outgoing Server' field, and make sure the 'Port' field has '25' in it.
   *note - if you are not using Texas.net as your 'ISP'(internet access), you will need to use your ISP's outgoing email server.

   An 'Account Wizard' window will pop up that says 'New Account Setup.'

7. Select 'Email Account', as the type of account you would like to create, then click on 'Next'.

8. Fill out the 'Your Name' field with your name, and put in your Texas.net email address in the appropriate field. Click 'Next' when you have filled in the fields.

9. Select 'POP' as the type of incomming email server you are using. In the 'Incomming Server' field, put in 'pop.texas.net'. Click 'Next'.

10. In the field 'Incomming User Name' and 'Outgoing User Name', put in your username for Texas.net. Your username is everything before the '@texas.net'(example: just 'username', not username@texas.net).

    Click 'Next'

11. In the field 'Account Name', enter the name you wish. The default name is fine.

12. You should now be at a 'Congratulations' Screen. Verify all of the information, and click 'Finish'.
