As others have indicated, we need more information.

Some people access their email via a web page. If you do so, you should be able to log into your second account in exactly the same way that you do with your first account. i.e. go to the relevant log-in page and enter your username and password.

Other people access their email through a 'client' (which is a program specifically designed for the job, such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail or one of the many others listed by Chuckfickens). The precise instructions on setting up your email account vary between the different clients, which is why we need further information from you.

However you'll need to know four things:
1. Your username. (For most accounts that's the bit before the @ sign in your email address, but some accounts require you to enter your full email address as your username).
2. Your password for the account.
3. The POP3 server address used by your email provider. (See below).
4. The SMTP server for address used by your email provider. (See below).

The POP3 and SMTP addresses you require will be on the support pages of your email provider. Alternatively (if you get your email through one of the UK's major ISPs) you can find them here:
http://www.idl.uk.com/email/isp_settings.htm
or here:

To set up a new email account in Outlook Express, go to Tools>Accounts>Add>Mail and fill in the information required by the wizard. Outlook is similar, as is Windows Mail.

Thanks for your replies, you may guess I am a bit, old but I try!
I use Outlook Express, & I created an additional account with a different address today with my broadband supplier Talk Talk.Normally I access my one Email accoun by going to Outlook express & my mail is there.
How do I find messages to my new account & send mail using the new account.
Thank's

[ChuckFickens]

two options.

1) add a second account to outlook express as it is. emails for both addresses would then be delivered to the same inbox in OE., to do this just follow the instructions below

2) create a 2nd identity in outlook express, and add the new email address to the 2nd identity, you can then keep the emails seperate and switch between them at will. to do this first follow the instructions below to create the 2nd identity, then the ones on the link above to add the account to it

Thank you for replying, Dunr. On most occasions when we ask for further information the questioner never comes back to us!

Chuck's first link should match the information in my previous post. (I regard that as the simplest way of doing things).

When you send new mail you'll find that the 'From' field has your 'default' address already filled in. You can change it to the other address by clicking in the 'From' field and selecting from the drop-down menu.

When you reply to an incoming email, the 'From' field will automatically show the address to which that mail was sent (but you can still change it to the other one, if you want to, as above).
