a list of the connections available.

mins.
Now click on Login As.

in the appropriate boxes.
Click on Ok to return to

Click Apply, then click
on OK. Outlook will inform you that you have to exit the program
and restart it for the changes to take effect, so please do that. To check
your mail you need to click on Tools and Deliver Now. This will
send any mail that you have written and check for new mail.
