110 is not a valid server name, with a possible exception if you are
maintaining
you own mail server on your own local network and have chosen 110 as the
name of the machine containing that mail server. You usually have to get
the
proper name, and any other information needed during the setup, from
whatever
mail provider you are going to use. Many people choose their internet
providers
as their email providers also, since most internet accounts include one or
more
email accounts. If they haven't written instructions to set up under
Windows
Mail, their instructions for Outlook Express should also work under Windows
Mail if they don't call for the HTTP protocol. The instructions are
probably
available 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 their
instructions.
