How to Set Up Outlook 2003
Published: August 26, 2003
Before you can use Outlook 2003 to send and receive Discovery Map e-mail, you need to set up an account. You can have more than one account—for business, personal, and so on—and each person who uses your computer may have their own, completely separate account. Outlook 2003 gracefully handles it all.
