In the services dialog box, you may need to add INTERNET MAIL. If it’s already there, then skip the next few steps.
(You should have your Windows 95/98, Outlook 97, or Office 97 CD-ROM available for possible files to be copied).

Click on the CONNECTION tab.
Click on the correct form of connection (usually modem) and make sure the dial-up connection is HALNet (or whatever you called your HALNet connection).
Also click "Work off-line and use Remote Mail" so you can open and compose an E-mail and then log on to HALNet when needed to send the E-mail.
Once done the following message may appear. (Note: It may say Exchange instead of Outlook. Just proceed normally).
Click OK to proceed.
Click OK until you are back to the Outlook "inbox" screen, then CLOSE Outlook 97.
Note: It is usually best to properly close down a program and restart it after changes have been made to assure the changes take effect.
