If it is not there, it must be installed to continue. To Install Microsoft Exchange Client (If needed) O Select START>Settings>Control Panels>Add/Remove Programs>Windows Setup O Select MS Exchange and install it per system instructions. Your Win95 distribution media MUST be available during installation. Your Inbox must also be configured for internet mail services. This is included on the PLUS! kit from Microsoft or with an addon from Microsoft that can be downloaded from their web page called 'Inetmail.exe'. It is also included with the latest MS Exchange Client kits. Installing one of these is REQUIRED to access Internet mail services. Setting up MS Exchange o Run Inbox wizard per ISONE or Win95 instructions, this will setup the FIRST mailbox o Double Click INBOX. This will open the user you created. o When it is running, select Tools>Options. On the General tab, halfway down, select the option 'Prompt for profile to be used', click OK, then EXIT Inbox. o Double Click Inbox again. o You will now be prompted for a profile to be used, click the 'NEW' button. o On the next window, select 'Internet Mail' for the services to use, click 'Next' o Next Window, enter a profile name. This can be anything, but your name for the user works best, then Click 'Next' o Select Modem for connection to the network, click 'Next' o Select the ISONE dialup connection preference, click 'Next' o For mail server name, enter 'mail.isone.com', click 'Next' o Select 'Off-line' for mail transfer preference, click 'Next' o Enter the users EMAIL address (username@isone.com) and Full name, click 'Next' o Enter your USERNAME ONLY, in lowercase letters, leave the password field blank, click 'Next' The next 2 questions deal with files to store the mail in on your local system.

Click 'Next' o For question about automatically starting Inbox, Select, 'No, do not add it to the startup group', click 'Next' o Click 'Finish' o Click 'Cancel' on Profile screen. You must restart Inbox for setting to take effect. Note: Due to a bug in some versions of Inbox, every time you create a new profile/user, ALL users might receive the 'Welcome' message over again.
