I'M LOST.....How do I configure Outlook 2000 to work with msn.com email address?

[Dave]

I am using comcast as my cable ISP.....I do not use my
comcast emai address, rather use my ****@msn.com email
address, however, after setting up Outlook, whenever I
open it...it brings up my comcast.net email acct. How do
I configure Outlook 2000 to bring up my free ****@msn.com
email acct?

I tried a couple of things, but am getting a box popping
up asking for an acct name and password. I tried using
my ****@msn.com username and password, and that didn't
work. I tried my comcast.net username and password, and
that didn't work.

What am I missing?

Thank you

Are you using Outlook 2000 in Internet Mail Only mode or Corporate/Workgroup
mode? See the second line of Help | About Microsoft Outlook if you're not
sure.

Hello:

I checked it and it says Internet Mail Only......is this
what i want?

Yes...now I need to know what the "couple of things" are that you've tried.
Have you confirmed with MSN that you can get POP3 access to their mail
servers using Outlook 2000?

Also, in the future, please quote the relevant parts of previous posts in
the thread when replying...it makes it easier for everyone to follow the
thread.
