Windows mail

[Guest]

Why does Microsoft tout Windows mail and not tell you how to set it up ?? The
posts I saw were helpful but I have a small problem. I am living in China and
guess I will have to contact the ISP here to find out if it is a POP-3 or
whatever type of servers they use. Microsoft thinks of everything to push
their products but does little to help those who travel internationally to
use them. It's all about money !!

The normal method is to check with your ISP to see what their server names
are.
How could MS possibly know?
If you are travelling, get a free Gmail account, and use their server for
outgoing mail. You can still use your regular POP mail server for incoming.

What downright utter nonsense.

The instrutions to set up email are easily accessed via the
Vistas Help & Support facilty.

Of course you will have to consult you ISP to find out what services they
offer.
That is why they invariably have their own Help & Support facilities
on the Web.

Wake up and stop your pathetic moaning and ranting.
You are an embarrasment to the English speaking world
and I offer China my deepest and most sincere apologies
for their having to host such a loon!
