I am trying to set up Outlook Express to use my email
account (e-mail address removed), it is a lot like a hotmail
account. I am at the window that says "Internet
Connection Wizard" and I am not sure how to fill it in.
Here is what I have:

Email Server Names
My incoming mail server is a (POP3, IMAP, HTTP) server.
Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP, HTTP) server: "blank"
An SMTP server is the server that is used for your
outgoing email.
outgoing mail (SMTP) server: "blank"
<Back Next> Cancel

I have called Hewlet Packard, MSN (who is my internet
service providor), and Microsoft Personal Support. The
latter told me I could come here or pay $35 on a major
credit card, lol. I know it shouldn't be that hard to
figure out, but I don't want to put the wrong thing. I
REALLY appreciate your help! Thanks in advance.

Hi Heather,

Your mail account provider needs to supply you with the server names, not
Microsoft, MSN, or Hewlett Packard. According to this link:

http://home.avon.net/initialquestions/email.html

They should be as follows:

Incoming mail (POP3) Server: pop3.avon.net
Outgoing mail (SMTP) Server: smtp.avon.net

There are three things you need to know and you can get that
informaiton from the avon.net people. MSN - HP would not have
that information unless the person you are talking with has an
account as you are trying to setup. Look for these:

1- My incoming mail server is : ??? Example pop3
2 - Incoming mail: ??? example - pop.juno.com
3 - Outgoing mail: ??? example - smtp.juno.com

Of course you know your account or ID name and your password.
