The SMTP is an authenticated SMTP so it needs certain specific settings to be done. Before closing the Internet accounts dialog box, click the account just created (acopywriter.net) and click on the properties.
Go to Acccount Settings under the "Server" Tab and make sure the smtp server is mail.acopywriter.net.

Step#9

Now Click on "My Server Requires Authentication" & then the Settings Tab.
Activate the radio button adjacent to "Log on Using" and then enter your full e-mail address and password.

Click on the "Remember Password" check box if you want Outlook Express to remember your password and log you in automatically.

Step#10

Similarly in the 'Advanced tab' make sure the Outgoing mail (SMTP) is 25 and the Incoming mail (POP3) is 110 by default.

If you want to leave a copy of all the downloaded emails onto your server then select the check box where it says Leave a copy of messages on server.
To save space, we suggest you, not to leave copy of messages on server for a long period.

Outlook Express - IMAP Instructions

IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol). The purpose of IMAP is to allow a client to have server-based email management. With IMAP, a client does not need to download and store its own messages. All messages can be manipulated and stored on the server.

To setup IMAP in Outlook 2003:

From the Tools menu -> select email accounts.

Click -> add a new email account -> click next
On the email accounts page -> select the IMAP radio button -> click next
On the email accounts page -> fill out all of the necessary information. Be sure to put in the incoming and outgoing server.
Click -> more settings.
Click -> the outgoing server tab.
(optional) If your outgoing server requires SMTP authentication, check the box labeled as such.
Click -> the advanced tab.
If your server requires a secure connection, make sure that those boxes for the incoming and outgoing servers are checked also.
Click Save.
