Configuration of Microsoft Outlook 97 to handle Internet E-mail
Revision 02/13/99
This procedure will provide the necessary
instructions to configure Microsoft Outlook to send and receive Internet E-mail. Outlook
is a very powerful communications
application, and is capable of many functions. Please consult you manuals for using the
program's other features.
Please be advised that Outlook can very easily overwelm you computer if not configured
properly. One of it's features is to allow you to use Microsoft Word to edit your e-mail.
It is a nice touch, but our experience is that even a computer with 48 MB of RAM is slowed
way down when this option is used. We recommend that you not
use this feature unless you have at least 64 MB of RAM.
It is assumed that you have already configured a dial-up networking connection.
