Setting up your eMail
Your laptop comes with Outlook Express to send and receive e-mail. In order to
send emails you must have an email account and be connected to the internet.
You can have more than one account—for business, online shopping, and so
on—and each person who uses your computer may have their own,
completely separate account. Outlook Express will handle it all.
The Internet Connection Wizard makes short work of setting up your online
mailbox by walking you through each step for every e-mail account you set up.
This will automatically run the first time you open Outlook Express, however to
add additional account got to Tools>Accounts>Add>Mail to start a new wizard.

following information. (You may need to contact your Internet Service
Provider (ISP) to get it)

The type of e-mail server you use: POP3 (most e-mail accounts), HTTP
(such as Hotmail), or IMAP
