Outlook Express Setup



This page is designed to assist you in the setup of your Australia Online e-mail address on Outlook Express. If you know your way around Outlook Express, these are the settings you will need. The incoming mail server is: pop.ozonline.com.au , and the outgoing mail server is: smtp.ozonline.com.au. You need to know what your <username> and <password> are, to ensure that you can check your mail, these are usually the same as what you use to connect to the Internet.
