Setting up Adelphia web mail with Outlook Express.

This article describes how you can configure Adelphia web mail with an email client

Adelphia High Speed Internet offers multiple email accounts, so that everyone in a household can have their own email address. The primary account is the Head-of-Household account. This account is set up automatically as part of your High-Speed Internet installation. This account has administrative privileges to set up other email accounts, allocate email storage amongst all email accounts, and use the parental control email feature.
You can create 1-9 additional 'sub' accounts, depending on your level of service. Adelphia email accounts are set up as username@adelphia.net. You can access your email from any Internet connection by signing into www.adelphia.net and clicking on the Check email link.

However, if you want to set up an email account in an email client software (like outlook express or mozilla) manually, these are the steps to be followed.

  • Open Outlook Express in your computer.

  • Click on Tools > Accounts.


  • The Internet Accounts pop-up window appears.

  • Click on the Mail tab.

  • To add a new Adelphia web mail account, click Add > Mail.



  • Internet Connection Wizard pop-up windows will appear.

  • On the Your Name page of the wizard enter your name in the Display name field as you would like it to appear on your outgoing e-mail messages.

  • Click Next to continue.



  • The Internet Connection Wizard will now ask for your email address.

  • Type in your full e-mail address on the Internet E-mail Address screen.

  • Click Next to continue.



  • In the next window, you need to feed in three important bits of information - the incoming and outgoing email servers and the type of the incoming email server.
  • On the E-mail Server Names screen, select POP3 from the drop down list.

  • In the space provided below Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP or HTTP) server,  enter mail.adelphia.net.
  • Type in mail.adelphia.net as your Outgoing mail (SMTP) server.

  • Click Next to continue.


    The information that you need to enter now is the user name and password that you established when you originally set up your Adelphia HSI service.

  • So, on the Internet Mail Logon screen, type in the Adelphia user name in the field titled Account name:

  • Check the box  Remember password  if you want OE to remember your password.
    Note:
    If you're concerned about break-ins to your e-mail, un-check this box. You'll then be prompted for the password each time you send or retrieve mail.

  • Click Next.



  • Congratulations, you have now set up your web mail with Outlook Express for Adelphia.

  • Click Finish.


    You're ready to send and receive emails!
