window.

Click
the Add button, choose Mail.

e.g., "jsmith@spsp.net". Click Next.
6.
Next
asks for incoming server type, select "POP3".
For incoming server, enter "mail.spsp.net"
(for webhosting customers this must be your incoming server's name, usually mail.yourdomain.com).
For outgoing, enter "mail.spsp.net" (for webhosting customers, usually mail.yourdomain.com).
In other words, they're the same for incoming and outgoing.
Click Next.

email address for account name, e.g., "jsmith@spsp.net", and password.

everything you wanted it to.
9.
Select
the account you just created (it may be called
"spsp.net"), and click Properties.
10.
On
the General screen, enter the name you would
like to see for the account, e.g., "John2",
or "My Other Acct". Also enter your
reply address, which is the same as the line
above, e.g., "jsmith@spsp.net".
11.
Click
OK. Then click Close to close the Accounts
window. Recommended: close Outlook Express and
re-open it.
When
you choose Send and Recieve All (or select
John2 or whatever) under Tools, you should
get your messages. You can test this by sending
emails to yourself using your 2 accounts.
However, when you compose a message, the program
will probably send it as the first account
in your list. If you click on the From line,
you can select the other account.
