Just bought my HP computer and I can't get my e-mail to work.

[Guest]

When I set up my e-mail, the box comes up with the question, "Incoming email
server type". There is a drop down box with "Pop3, IMAP & HTTP.
Then it asks for the Outgoing email server and in ( ) is has SMTP.
No matter which of the above I list, I can't get it to work.
The error that comes up is # 0X800CCC0D
I could use some help with this, PLEASE.

POP3, IMAP, HTTP, and SMTP are not valid server names. The names
you should use depend on who your email provider is. If it's Verizon,
see this:

Who provides your email account?
Usually they have a webpage for email help.
If they don't have instructions for setting up Windows Mail, use the Outlook
Express one.
