1. Open Microsoft Outlook 97 and choose "Tools" from the menu bar.

   If it is not, click on the "Add" button, then highlight "Internet Mail", and click on "OK".
   If it is, highlight "Internet Mail", and click on the "Properties" button.
   
   
5. Now, we will use the example of an account with Net-Port with the following account info:

7. Next, click on the "Connection" tab.
   If you log onto your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and then check your mail, choose "Connect using the network". Or uncheck to connect manually. This means you need to connect using your ISP then open Outlook to send and receive email. If you want Outlook to dial into your ISP for you, then choose "Connect using the modem".
