Problems setting up e-mail account

[Donna]

I have my computer back with my Windows XP I have gone in
and am trying to set up my e-mail account. It asks for
my name which I put in it asks for my e-mail which I put
in it then askes me for server, I believe my server is
HTTP when I put that in, it then asks me for HTTP server,
I am not sure what that is, when I put in what I thought
it was, which was my e-mail it tells me invalid HTTP
server and does not let me go any further to set up my e-
mai account. Can anyone tell me how I find out what my
HTTP server is so I can complete this.
Thank you for your help

Hello Donna,



You're most likely being asked for your ISP's Pop3 and SMTP servers. These
are the servers that send and receive E-Mail. You will need to get these
from your Internet Provider. Once these are installed you'll be asked for
your account name and password and the setup should complete.



Hope this helps





Thank You
