Inbox Button - Click the Inbox button to go to the Inbox for your configured email program (such as NetZero Message Center or Outlook Express).

5. On the How do you want to get your Email screen, click the circle next to Outlook Express and click Finish.

6. A confirmation window will appear. If you are sure you want to configure your NetZero email program to be Outlook Express, click Yes.

7. If there are no problems, a message will appear saying that your NetZero email has been set up for Outlook Express. Click OK.

8. You will return to the Welcome screen.

9. Click Connect to get online. Once you are online, you can click the Inbox and Write buttons to access your email through Outlook Express.
