I have a new computer. Outlook is installed, but not connect send and
receive e-mail. I followed instructions, but not connection
 
We have no idea who your ISP is or their directions for setting up their
email. Contact your ISP for better directions or use their help files.

Connie, it looks like you ISP is Comcast if you posted this from the
computer in question, so the server names are likely to be mail.comcast.net
in both POP and SMTP boxes.

As for the account name it may be the part before the @ sign or the whole
thing as in fred or (e-mail address removed)

(The not is a deliberate misspelling so the address as shown here is no use
to spammers - it should of course be .net)

Your password may be the same as the log on password if you previously were
given details, or it may be different, your docs should tell you that.

Incorrect - the POP3 server name is mail.comcast.net and the SMTP name is
smtp.comcast.net.

details, straight from the horse's mouth.
