If there is more than one entry in this window you should be able to safely delete them, although check you don't need them first!

If your email account is not set up as the default you can do this by clicking on it's entry to highlight it and then click the 'Set as Default' button (Shown as grayed out in the example above).

Congratulations! - Your email account is now set up and ready for use!

It is worth noting at this stage that you can change the account name to something more meaningful.

If you have more than one account in the 'Mail' window - click on the email account that you have just set up.

Click 'Properties'

The email account 'Properties' box appears.

You can change the 'Mail Account' name in the first box to anything you like. This is particularly useful if you have more than one email account with the same ISP as you will be able to easily identify the account you want to use. Otherwise your will have two accounts with the same ISP and the same name in 'Outlook Express'

Your email account is now ready for use and has been named as you want it.
