Try the support pages for your ISP. They usually have detailed directions
located there that tell how to setup Outlook Express with their email
servers.

My problem is exactly the opposite. I can receive mail all day and connect
to the microsoft news server. I cannot send any email, nor can I connect to
my ISP's news server. Now what?

Something is not right in your settings. Have you double checked with the
ISP for what they want entered as account info in OE? Directions vary from
one ISP to another. Some servers use SPA (MSN does anyhow), some do not.
Most will require password authentication and they may want you to enter
the user name a bit differently than your email address.
