Hi, Krystal.

The information for the POP3 (incoming) and SMTP (outgoing) servers must
come from your ISP or other mail server. For me, I must put
"mail.grandecom.net" in both boxes - but that won't do you any good at all
unless you also use Grande Communications. If you mention the name of your
ISP, someone here might recognize it and know what you should enter. But
the BEST source is to ask your ISP. In other words, the company that you
pay every month for your Internet service.

Who provides your email service? Or to ask that question another way,
what is the part of your email address after the @ symbol?
Your mail provider will typically have a web page that shows how to
set up an email program. If you need more help, tell us the name of
your email service provider.

hi, try to set up Window email as well but it keep asking me about pop3 and
stmp i dont know what it is to enter. And my email msn and yahoo, and my
internet provider is clearwire.

You could set up a Clearwire.com email address in Windows Mail, but
free Yahoo or free MSN accounts won't work.

US-based free Yahoo accounts have webmail access only, no POP
access. Windows Mail handles POP mail but not webmail.
One solution is to pay Yahoo for their their premium "Mail Plus" service:

and use the special settings for that service:

Does your MSN account have POP access or only webmail access?
You can use that MSN account by upgrading to Windows Live Mail:
