To access your email account via the web, when prompted for your user name you must put in hcsd\username - then your password. All username and passwords are the same as your network username and password for your email account.

Setting Up Your E-mail in Microsoft Outlook Express

If you are using Outlook Express, follow these steps to setup Hancock e-mail:

(Your email can only be accessed through outlook express on the computer you set it up on.)

Click <Start> <All Programs> and find the <Outlook Express> link:

Once <Outlook Express> opens up, click no the <Tools> option located in the top menu bar. Move cursor down to the <Accounts> option and click:

You will see 4 tabs on top of the ensuing screen. Click with your mouse the tab <Mail>. On the right hand side at the top, click <Add> and then highlight and click <Mail>.

For Display Name simply put your full Name and click <Next>

Input your <userid>, without the <> symbols followed by @hancock.k12.ms.us as shown:

Be sure to change the top option titles <My incoming Server is a> to IMAP. Then simply type as shown and click <Next>.

Again type in your <userid> and password in the appropriate boxes. Make SURE you check the save password unless you want to enter it every single time you log on. Click <Next> and you are ALMOST ready to roll!

Once you click finish and the Accounts page comes back up, once again, click the <mail> tab and then <properties> button:

You now need to once again go to the <Servers> tab. Check the box under <Outgoing Mail Server> and hit <Okay>. Close out and you are NOW ready to use your e-mail account.
