Leo nearly always answers the question just right, but not this time. In his conclusion, Leo identifies a "two step process" but the questioner does not know how to carry out the two step process.

The original question is not answered by Leo as did Peter Slonekp react. I think the question is about setting up another "mailbox" and/or Alias for the son by the same Service provider as the father.
And how to make it possible for both to read their own emails.

robnanney - about Outlook not needing an internet connection - what Leo meant is that with Web mail, to view your mail, you have to be connected at the time. With Outlook, you can view your mail at any time, whether you're connected or not. You just can't download anything new without an internet connection.

Peter Slonekp - if you have an account already set up with the provider, visit their web site and go to the Support section, where they will usually have all the steps you need to access an account. Without knowing exactly what your mail program is and who your service provider is, there's not much way to walk you through setting up, other than in the most broad, general terms.

I had the same question but I did not get the answer. I already have an account with a provider but I would like another email address for another purpose. I set it up with the provider but now I do not know how to access it. Can you help me, please?

I know that it is obvious to you, but it might not have been to the person asking the question. Not only does she need to have a computer, she needs to have an internet connection. Saying ISP does not help if you are a real newbie, which this person seems to be.

I believe outlook and a similar program DO need an internet connection. That statement is a bit misleading....

Gmail may not be the best solution for a child because they hide the true IP address of the sender. For more see
