• Open Outlook 2000.

Note: Some versions of Outlook 2000 have this listed as "Services" rather than "Accounts."

• Click the "Add" button
• Choose the "Mail" option as shown below. 

• Begin by putting in the "display name."

That is the name that people will see when they receive an e-mail from this account. It does not have to match the e-mail username. 

• Click the "Next" button.

• Enter your e-mail address.
• Click "Next".

• Select "POP3" as the mail server type.
• For incoming and outgoing mail enter mail.ispname.com where ispname.com is the part of your email address after the @ sign.

Example: If your email address is elf@northpole.com your mail server address would be mail.northpole.com.

• Click "Next."

• Enter your account name and password.

Hint: your account name is the part of your email address before the @ sign. So if your email address is elf@northepole.com your account name would be elf.

• Select your Dial-up connection from the box.
