Before you can send and receive e-mail,
you need:
■
An account with an Internet Service
Provider (ISP).
■
Microsoft Internet Explorer (included with
your HP Pavilion) or other browser program
(usually provided by an ISP).
■
A dial-up modem/telephone connection, or a
network adapter connection from your PC to
the ISP.
Note:
If you decide to use a DSL or a cable Internet
connection, contact your ISP for any specific
software and hardware you may need.
If the ISP Provides the Browser
Follow the ISP’s instructions to download its Web
browser and e-mail program and to set up and
use your e-mail account. You will then be able to
send and receive e-mail each time you connect
to your ISP.
If Using Outlook Express
After you sign up with an ISP and connect your
modem, you can run Outlook Express from the
Start menu.
The first time you start Outlook Express, the
Internet Connection Wizard window opens if
you are not already connected to the Internet.
You will need to provide connection information
such as an account name and password and the
names of an incoming and an outgoing mail
server to use Outlook Express. If you are unsure
how to answer any of the questions, contact
your ISP.
