||| Hi -
||| Can anyone help me? I am new to using Outlook
||| Express. It came with Office 2000 Professional (I
||| think). I am trying to set up the email portion to
||| download from my AOL email address. And I can't find how
||| to do this. One way I tried listed 5 options for the
||| download, but none of them worked for AOL.
||| Where do you request this? Where do you put in your
||| email address?
||| Thanks for any help you can give.

|| Has AOL finally got RFC-compliant Internet standard POP3 and SMTP
|| servers yet? They didn't have before. They still probably don't.
|| I've heard rumor that they will eventually but that could be months
|| and months away. AOL uses a propriatary IMAP-like protocol all
|| their own. So obviously e-mail clients that expect to use Internet
|| standard mail servers won't work with AOL. Time to toss AOL and get
|| a real Internet service provider.

| Hi -
| Thanks for the info, though discouraging, about AOL.
| What is a "real Internet service provider" - Earthlink or
| what?
| Thanks again.
