When you first start Outlook Express you will be prompted to create your first account. To add more, open Outlook Express Mail. Then select Tools > Accounts from the Outlook Express menu. Click the Add button, then select Mail, News or Directory Service to create a new account. A Wizard steps you through the process of creating the new account. When the Wizard finishes, click the Close button in the Internet Accounts dialog box.

You can also exclude one (or more) accounts from being updated when you choose to Send and Receive All accounts (or press the Send and Receive button on the Toolbar). To do this, simply select Tools > Accounts from the menu, double-click the Account you want to exclude, and on the General tab, uncheck the box Include this account when doing a full Send and Receive.
