Setting up mail servers

[mooster]

I have tried to set up my incoming and outgoing server names in order to
import my mail from outlook express but it keeps telling me I have an error.
I am sure I have the correct ones for my providers. Can anyone help?

You don't need server names to import your old messages, but you do need
them to retrieve/send new email.
If you tell us who your email account providers are, then perhaps someone
can assist.

Importing old mail from OE is not the same thing as downloading
new mail from the mail server.
If you get an error message, right-click on the error message, copy,
then paste it into a reply here.
We can't do much troubleshooting without that complete error message.

I believe you have the correct server names. Just be aware that in order
to use an SMTP server on port 25, your Internet connection must come
from the same provider as the SMTP server owner. For more on this
policy, see http://www.postcastserver.com/help/Port_25_Blocking.aspx

Let us know if you need additional help, and include any error messages.
