FishNet Support Policy

The following page is a free service offered by FishNet for our clients to be able to configure Outlook Express to send and receive mail at their own domain names. Outlook Express occasionally change its configuration, so this is may not exactly match the current version.

If you are having trouble connecting with FishNet mail services, we will be glad to help you resolve those problems. However, FishNet cannot support third party software. For general support for your mail program, you will need to either research the documents included with your mailer or contact the mailer company directly. Thanks for your understanding.

Outlook Express Configuration

As part of your FishNet domain name service, you can configure your e-mail service to send and receive mail under your domain name. This is possible for multiple e-mail accounts also.

To get started, you will need an e-mail username and password; this should have already been supplied to you by FishNet. If not, contact FishNet and obtain your mail account information first.

Start Outlook Express. Then click on the following options:
Tools / Accounts / Mail / Add -> Mail.

Enter the following values, clicking the Next button each time the appropriate data is entered:

Name:	your personal name
Email Address:	your FishNet assigned email address
POP3 Server	Incoming Mail Server: fsmail.fni.com Outgoing Mail Server: fsmail.fni.com Please select secure connections on both incoming and outgoing servers.
POP Account Name Password	your FishNet assigned account name your FishNet assigned password
Friendly Name:	your personal name
Connection Method	Connect using your phone line if you dial into the Internet on a modem Connect using your LAN if you are connected to an Internet connected network
Finish

Testing

This should complete the configuration of your mailer to send and receive mail at your domain name. To test this, log onto the Internet and send mail to yourself; if the "From:" e-mail address does not properly show as sent from your domain name, go over everything again.
