I am setting up my email account for the 1st time - just purchased new
computer and I am receiving error messages regarding the server setup POP3.
It doesn't seem to complete the setup - please help with more explicit
instructions.

Each mail provider has their own setup instructions.
Who provides your mail service?

If AT&T's former SBC division is your mail provider, follow their setup
instructions:

email address after the @ symbol.
