Check with your email providers for the correct settings for Outlook
Express. The instructions will be very similar to that.

sure what to do

go to the accounts tab and click on properties and look at the servers. This
should tell you the settings

You don't need to know the servers for MSN and Hotmail. Select http as the
account type and then MSN or Hotmail as the provider. I will warn you that many
people, myself included can't add other MSN/Hotmail accounts without crashing
WLMD.

I'm not sure if WLMDb can access Yahoo mail via http, or, more accurately, if
Yahoo mail allows access by mail clients via http. I know that it can certainly
handle POP3 if you've upgraded your Yahoo Mail to be POP3 enabled.
