<sigh> Read the error message. HAVE you checked what your POP3 server name
should be? It certainly is NOT "POP3"....

'pop3' is not a valid server name, although it is a valid protocol. Also,
port 110
is seldom used for sending mail. The proper server name and port number
depends on which email provider you are using. Many people choose their
internet provider as their email provider also, since most internet accounts
include one or more email accounts. If your email provider hasn't written
setup
instructions for Windows Mail yet, their instructions for Outlook Express
should
also work under Windows Mail if they don't call for the HTTP protocol.
These
instructions are probably somewhere on their web site. Or, you could tell
us
who your email provider is and see if anyone here already knows where to
find
the instructions.
