So it's POP. You need to download and install the Internet Mail Enhancement
Patch or Office 97 SP2. See

Its a Mdaemon mail server. It works fine and I have Outlook Express

running no probs. Unfortunately OL is not the same.

On OE I just set the server pop and smtp IP address, port, user ID and

passwd. How and where is it done on Outlook? When I start OL asks for
postoffice. I just can't figure it out. Can you please tell me how it is
done?

You must add the Internet E-mail Service to the profile either through the
Tools | Services dialog in Outlook or the Mail applet in Control Panel.
