The Account Manager window opens.

Highlight the desired account and click Properties.

Select the Incoming Mail (POP3) tab:

Server Name/address = The Incoming (POP3) mail server usually follows this format:  mail.ispname.com (or .net).  Replace the "ispname.com (or .net)" with your ISP's name.
Port  =  This should be the default port:  110.

User Name  =  Enter your e-mail username (everything before the @).

A signature is a word or phrase that is appended to the end of each e-mail.  If you'd like, Express Mail will append a signature for you automatically.

To do this check the box Apply Signature To Outgoing Mail.

In the space provided, enter the signature you'd like.  In this example, I entered 'Visit www.netfaqs.com'.
