Jack,

Yes this information for your ISP will change. Best bet would be to call
Sky, and ask them for your Email Server settings.

If you have the account set up:
Click tools, accounts, mail, click on the account in questions, then
properties.

Through there you can go through the tabs to fill in the information needed
to reconfigure the account.

If account not setup:

Click tools, accounts, mail tab, add, Mail...

=========================================

In regard for still having your old emails, there maybe a possibility it is
still there. (You should do this before you set up your new sky account
settings)

To find this(if it is there)
1: From within Outlook express: Click: Tools, Options, Maintance tab
2: Click Store Folder, this will pull up a box with a long path in it:
Example: C:\Documents and Settings\(user account)\Local
Settings\Application
Data\Identities\{93xxxxxxx-4xx-4xxx-8xxx-23xxxxxxxxxx}\Microsoft\Outlook
Express

3: Copy this path (Highlight it all, right click copy, or highlight it all
then hit CTRL + C)
4: click start, then run: Paste the path into the run line, hit ok

This will pull up the folder that has all of your .dbx files (mail storage
for Outlook express)

5: from there, Move all of these to the desktop (drag and drop), you can
make a folder if you want on the desktop and put them in that for less
clutter.

6: Once new account is set up with sky, you can repeat steps 2, 3 and 4,
then simply drag and drop them back into the store folder, this should put
all those older email messages into this account.

I hope this helps, let me know!

Thanks,
Max
