**E-Mail Account Updates**

In an effort to avoid problems with the newest generations of computer malware, worms and viruses and their ability to send mass emails from user’s computers, we are now going to require authentication to send email. 

These changes should be applied immediately.

Setting up Outlook Express for our new settings:

1)After opening Outlook Express, choose the ‘tools’ menu at the top and go to ‘accounts’.

2)Choose your Citizens email account, which will likely be listed as “mail.wpa.net” and click on the ‘properties’ button

3)With the mail properties screen up, you will want to select the ‘servers’ tab.

4)From here you will only need to select the box which reads “My server requires authentication”

5)Click ‘Apply’ and ‘OK’ and the setup should be finished. You should notice no changes in the way you send or receive email, but you will be compatible with the new server settings when they are changed.

These Directions apply only for Outlook Express.  Changing the settings in MS Outlook and other email programs will be different, but should be similar in requiring authentication for outgoing email.
