I've recently established an Internet Connection on a home network.
I can go on line and open web pages and all of that stuff, but recently I've
been wanting to create an e-mail account.

When I try to set up the account I have problems on witch option to choose.
All I want to do is to be able to send and recieve e-mail messages.
Can you give me step-by-step information on how to create an e-mail account?

I'd appreciate it.

I'm assuming that you want to set up an E-mail program like Microsoft
Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, or Netscape Mail..

First you need to know the answers to these questions. Contact your
E-mail provider for help if necessary:

1. What is your E-mail address?

2. What is the password for your account?

3. Does your E-mail provider's incoming server use POP or IMAP?

4. What is the name of your E-mail provider's incoming server?

5. What is the name of your E-mail provider's outgoing server?

6. Does your E-mail provider's outgoing server require authentication?
If so, does it use the same settings as your incoming server, or a
different E-mail address and password?

Once you have those answers, you can set up your account. If you're
using Road Runner high-speed Internet, go to this page, click "Ask
TWC", type "set up e-mail" in box, and click Send"

If you're not using Road Runner, that page can still show the steps
needed to set up your E-mail program. This Comcast web page might
also help:

If you have questions after looking at those pages, please post a
reply in this news group giving details: who your E-mail provider is,
what E-mail program you're using, what you've done, what you're having
trouble with, etc. I'm sure that someone will be able to help.

I don't have an existing e-mail account, I want to create one.
1. What is your E-mail address? Don't have one.

2. What is the password for your account? Don't have one.

3. Does your E-mail provider's incoming server use POP or IMAP? I have Microsoft Outlook Express. And sad to say, I'm not shure what POP or IMAP is.

4. What is the name of your E-mail provider's incoming server? I don't know. Do you have an example of one.

5. What is the name of your E-mail provider's outgoing server? Same as the last question. I don't know.

6. Does your E-mail provider's outgoing server require authentication?
If so, does it use the same settings as your incoming server, or a
different E-mail address and password? Still in the fog.

Could you give me an example of somebody with a e-mail account?

Thanks for your help.

I'm sorry, Elijah, but I don't have any information about your
Internet service, so I can't tell you how to set up an E-mail account.

If you want an E-mail account from your Internet service provider, I
recommend that you phone them and ask for help setting it up.

If you want a web-based E-mail account, I recommend that you go to
http://mail.yahoo.com and set one up.

My OS is Window XP and my ISP is AOL.
I'm sorry I can't respond to your inquiry.
I'm piggy backing on your question because I can't figure out the way to
create my own?

My problem is when I e-mail from my picture I no longer connect to AOL. A
window opens with the following message "Your microsoft server is
unavailable"
I do not use Outlook Express.

I can not get help from Microsoft, Dell or AOL. How about that for great TA.

Do you know your way around e-mail.

So, who is 'bum (at) neo (dot) rr (dot) com'? You should not be making
up email addresses out of the blue; especially not with established
domain names.

If your ISP did not give you an email address, then you need to get one;
either from them, or from third party email provider.
