If you have never had email set up on your computer, when you click on the icon for Outlook Express, the wizard will open and on this screen it will ask you if you want to create a new account, select “yes” and click “next”.

On this screen it will ask you for a display name. This can be your whole name or your first name, it is up to you. (Example: Sam or S. Mechling) Click “next”.

On this screen it will ask for your email address. Type this in as it is listed on your Welcome sheet provided by Mechcom Dot Net (or Knowire.Net) and click “next”.

On this screen it will prompt you for the incoming and outgoing POP3 mail server name. Type in mail.mechcom.net in both spaces. (see Fig. 6) Click “next”.

Knowire customers will type in mail.knowire.net in both spaces.

On this screen it will ask you for your account name and password. Type in your user name and password listed on your Welcome sheet. Be sure the “remember password” is checked so you won’t have to type it in every time you want to check your mail or connect to the internet. Click “next”.

Knowire customers will put in their COMPLETE email address and password.
