I tried to do the same thing excpet using outlook 2000 and my charter company
told me to contact microsoft. so if you get answers please let me know. I am
trying to use mine and it comes up with loginnet.passport.com and I got all
my pop3 in fo from charter so if you get answers let me know

They will telll you to contact your internet service and microsoft wants
49.00 to tell you something that will take them 2 minutes. I have all of my
server information but it asks me to loginnet.passport.com do you know what
that means. I tried to use my login and password for my internet server. Do
you have any advise for me

Usually your ISP help pages will have info on setting up Outlook Express,
with Outlook its basically the same proccess.
You need your;
User name (Your ISP user name)
Password (your email password)
pop server (incoming mail)
smtp server (Outgoing mail)
All the above are supplied by your ISP

Outlook 2000 is slightly different as you need initially to set up / install
in Internet Mode (This from recollection as its a long time ago)

If your ISP is a web based service, like Hotmail, there is a different
process.

Note: the reference to the FAQ for outgoing authentication(required) if also
used when
connected elsewhere(public wifi, hotel, airport etc)

Isn't your Internet Service through Comcast? Have you bothered looking at
Comcast's Help pages?

and microsoft wants 49.00 to tell you something that will take them 2
minutes.

Your auto mechanic or doctor would do the same thing. Why do you expect
Microsoft to offer services (i.e., free assistance) other professionals
won't

I have all of my server information but it asks me to
loginnet.passport.com
do you know what that means.

So, what information do you have?
