Is there a way to configure smtp and pop email settings in Outlook Express
using either Hotmail or Yahoo setting? Please bear with me as I'm not really
sure if this is the correct way to phrase this question. I would like to use
Outlook Express (or Outlook) as my email program but prefer OE because of
their newsgroups. I had Road Runner cable in the past but now I'm at a loss
how to configure OE without those Road Runner's smtp and pop settings. I
have AOL also but rarely use it. Thank you.

You don't say what version of Outlook Express you're using, but I'll assume
that it's 6.0. Outlook Express is part of Internet Explorer so this Microsoft
Outlook group doesn't support it. Outlook is part of Microsoft Office. Here's
the link to the newsgroup for OE:

I believe OE as well as OL can only access paid for Hotmail accounts
