server for Outlook, follow these steps:

click the Mail and Fax icon (or Mail if Fax services are not
installed).

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 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. If you have received a different POP3 address from
CompuServe, use that instead.

Providers listed, select the Internet Mail information service
