Step #5: Next you will enter your username and password. REMEMBER THEY ARE CASE SENSITIVE. Your username does include @evenlink.com after it.

Please name it EvenLink and click “NEXT”. Step #7: If you are running Windows 95 and you do not have Outlook Express installed on your computer you will automatically go to Step #12 otherwise you will next be asked if you would like to set up an email account.

Your email address is your username with @evenlink.com after it. Then Click “NEXT”. Step #11: At the top of the next box it should say “MY INCOMING MAIL SERVER IS A POP3 SERVER”. Below there will be two boxes. The first box is where you enter the incoming mail server, which is mail.evenlink.com. The second box is where you will enter the outgoing mail server which is mail.evenlink.com. Then click “NEXT”. Step #12: You will then be asked to enter your account name and password. These are the same as your dial up connection. Just enter your username with @evenlink.com and your password and click “NEXT”. Step #13: The next screen you see should tell you that you are finished. Depending on your version of Microsoft Windows it will either have a check box to finish and connect immediately or simply just a finish button. Either way click “FINISH” and you are done. Step #14: To get on line all you need to do is open “Internet Explorer” and a connection screen for EvenLink should automatically come up. Simply click “Connect”.
