Here’s all you have to do to set up a new e-mail account using an existing
Office Live subscription:

1. Sign in to Office Live with the owner e-mail address and password that you used to subscribe to Office Live. Only the original subscriber can create a new e-mail address — so if that’s not you, scurry around the office until you find whoever plunked down the credit-card information to create the Office Live account.
2. Click Administration on Office Live Home page Navigation bar. The Office Live Administration page opens.
3. Click E-Mail Accounts on the Navigation bar. The E-Mail Accounts page opens, as shown in Figure 4-1.
4. Click the Create New E-Mail Account icon. The Create New E-Mail Account page opens; see Figure 4-2.
5. Complete all the fields.
   Stop groaning! You only have a few pieces of pertinent information to enter:
   • User E-Mail Name: You only need to enter the first part of the e-mail address because Office Live already provides the @ and the domain name for you.
   • Password: Think of — and remember — a good password. Make it at least six characters long, and remember: It’s CASE-SENSITIVE. (Sorry to yell.)
   • Confirm Password: Because this is a very secretive operation, your password appears as a series of dots just in case an evil spy is lurking behind you. Type your password a second time to avoid accidentally creating an unintentional password.
   • User Information: Setting up 25 to 50 e-mail accounts can get confusing so adding a bit of information for the e-mail account user helps you tell them apart.
6. Click Next to continue. This might take a moment or two so you might want to examine your fingernails or twiddle your thumbs while Office Live creates your new e-mail account. Eventually the Summary screen of the Create New E-Mail Account page opens (see Figure 4-3).
7. Read the fine print on the Summary screen. The summary basically says the following:
   • Jot down the new e-mail address and password.
   • Scurry over to your Office Live Users & Accounts area to assign additional access to your new e-mail user.
   • The new user has to log in with his or her new e-mail address and new password to access any new e-mail that might be coming in.
8. (Optional) Click the View/Send Instructions button if you created this account for another user. A new window springs open with instructions that show the user how to access the e-mail account. At this point, you have one of two options:
   • Choose File?Print to print the instructions for the user.
   • Type the user’s current e-mail address in the box and click Send to send the person the instructions in an e-mail.
9. (Optional) Close the new user instructions page if you had it open.
10. Click Finish to finish setting up the e-mail account.
