the old email is core.com and my dsl is verizon.
Thanks!
Sarah,
if she has moved to another ISP (Yours?) then most likely the SMTP
server name will have to be changed to the same as yours. Usually an ISP
will only let you send through their server if you are connected to
their network. This is because SMTP does not identify you, the only
thing that does is your connection to their network, and so if they did
not apply this rule anybody could use their server to send spam.
The POP part is the receiving / storing server so in your case this
would be most likely your ISP's server and likely the same as yours. If
your Mom previously had an email address from someone else then you need
to look that up on their website, so for example is she is
(e-mail address removed) then comcast would be the place to get the POP settings
from. If she is closing her account there though they may not maintain
her old address for long. POP does identify you (Username and password)
so you do not have to be connected to their network to use their server,
but of course they don't provide free email boxes usually if the account
expires.
Hope this helps, a bit if you want more specific help post back saying
who her old email was provided by and who your DSL is provided by so
someone can help look this stuff up. Do NOT put a real email address in
newsgroups like this one, it will get abused.
Thanks!
