pop3

[Guest]

I just set up a new email account but whenever i look at it it comes up with
this message

The host 'POP3' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the
server name correctly.
Account: 'POP3', Server: 'POP3', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL):
No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D

i know how to change it but i dont know what to change it to, i have AOL
broadband which i use the wireless on.

Please Help

Thanks

You don't have the correct POP3 server name... it's not "POP3"

and I believe AOL uses IMAP instead of POP...

I have the same problem w/net zero, they send me a setup instruction to use
pop3 and I get the same message-it will send outbound not inbound cannot
receive w/pop 3, and no matter what set of instructions they send me it
doesn't seem to work. I'm at the point of giving net zero the boot, can't
take their customer service which does not address, what seems to be a simple
problem? I get the same exact message.

Copy the complete error message, then post it here.
Don't paraphrase it.

You don't have the correct name for the incoming (POP3) mail server.
Check with your Internet service provider (ISP).
