outlook express 6.0

[Guest]

hello, i am interested in using outlook express on my computer but i can't
figure out how to set it up. i go through the wizard and i get theo section
where it asks for incoming mail server and outgoing mail server. i have no
idea where to get these or what i should put there. i am not on a network. it
is just my laptop with comcast cable modem. does anyone know what i should
put there to get this to work. i can't send or receive email. is it possible
to link hotmail, yahoo, and gmail so i can get them all in outlook express.
any info would be appreciated. thanks

look on your ISP's website -- the mail servers look like pop.<isp-name>.com
and smtp.<isp-name>.com

if your ISP is Comcast and you have Comcast email, then ask Comcast what
the settings should be.

does anyone know what i should
put there to get this to work. i can't send or receive email. is it possible
to link hotmail, yahoo,

Only if you pay for them.

and gmail so i can get them all in outlook express.

Look on the gmail site at account options

Go to Comcast's website and look in their Help section for exact
instructions how to set up OE with their service. They will have the
mailserver names for you and a guide with pictures. The comcast mail
servers may be different in different areas of the country, so get
yours from Comcast directly.

Most ISPs (certainly here in the UK) give you at least one email address
as standard - just ask Comcast.

Only if you pay for them.

As far as Yahoo is concerned, this is true for yahoo.com and yahoo.ca
but not the other domains. I have two yahoo.es accounts that I receive
through OE and I haven't paid anything.
