Trouble with entering POP3 service in outlook express for account.

[Guest]

I'm Trying to set up my Email account, I can t send messages, I keep getting
an error that says :The host 'Earthlink' could not be found. Please verify
that you have entered the server name correctly. Account: 'Earthlink',
Server: 'Earthlink', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error:
11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D

What am I doing wrong? I must have entered a wrong server name? I have tried
MSN Explorer, Yahoo! Mail - thanks for your help ;-)

Try posting this in an Outlook Express news group - this is not one of them.
Outlook is a part of Microsoft Office and is what this group supports.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and has its own news groups.

You can also find some good Outlook Express information here:

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to
the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.
