Setting up Outlook Express
When you use your web-based Schoolgrid Email account, you access your email via the browser and the mail remains on the central server.
If you wish to have your email stored on your own computer so you can read and write emails when offline (you may use a laptop for example), you can use email client software such as Outlook Express on your PC or Mac.
Here are the instructions for setting up Outlook Express on a PC:
|

- Open Outlook Express
- Click on Tools from the main menu and then click on Account from the sub-menu.
- Click on the Add button then click on Mail.
- Enter your name in the Display name box.

6. In the Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP or HTTP) server box, enter: pop3.yourdomain, e.g: pop3.schoolname.lea.sch.uk
7. In the Outgoing mail (SMTP) server box enter the SMTP address for your ISP. If you are using Azzurri as your ISP you are able to use your domain name - e.g. smtp.school.lea.sch.uk.
