MORE INFORMATION
CompuServe provides POP3/SMTP mail support. To set up the POP3/SMTP mail
server for Outlook, follow these steps:
- On the Windows Start menu, point to Settings,
and then click Control
Panel. Double-click the Mail icon.
- If there are no services listed, click Add. Otherwise, click Show
Profiles, and then click Add. Click to select Internet E-mail, and then
click Next.

Type a name for your Mail account. Type the user information. It is
not necessary to enter information in the Reply Address box, unless you
receive replies to your e-mail at a different e-mail address.
- Click the Servers tab and type "smtp.site1.csi.com" (without
quotation marks) in the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) box. If you received
a different SMTP address from CompuServe, use that instead.
- In the Incoming Mail (POP3) box, type "pop.site1.csi.com" (without
quotation marks). If you have received a different POP3 address from
CompuServe, use that instead.

Connection."
If you connect using a modem and the CompuServe connection, click "I
use a modem to access my e-mail", and then click to select CompuServe

using a modem and you want to use a different Internet Service Provider
(ISP), select it from the list. If an appropriate connection does not
exist, you can create one using the Add button. Click OK.
- Click the Delivery tab. If there are multiple Internet Service
Providers listed, select the Internet Mail information service
you want to use as your primary mail service.
