Setting up your email in Outlook Express if you have a Godaddy account is easy. However, if you are not aware of the proper procedure, you would spend a lot of time in frustration. Please go through the procedures carefully to set up your email account:

  3. Choose “Manage Account” next to the particular account you want to use in the “Email Account” list
