windows mail

[matt powell]

I have to create a windows mail account to reply to a job ad. What do I type
in the blank space when asked about server types for incoming/outgoing mail?

You have to have an e-mail account set up first.
Before that, you have to have an e-mail address. Do you have one ? If not,
ask your Internet service Provider ( your cable company ) for it. They may
even be able to have you set up the account.
If you do have an e-mail address, given us what it is AFTER the @ symbol.
Example, mine is xxxcogeco.ca
What is yours ?

Uh, you don't "have to have a Windows Mail account" to reply to a job ad -
nobody has one, there's no such thing !! You just give them whatever email
address you do have. It might be through your ISP, i.e. Verizon, Cox,
Comcast, etc., or it could be a MSN-Hotmail-Live, Yahoo, Gmail, or any
number of other email providers - you get them from everywhere for free - I
have one I use for potentially SPAM generating people at mail.com. Put it
on your application and then logon the internet to that site's email and
check it from time-to-time.

If you want to set it up as an account in Windows Mail you can via Tools >
Accounts, but you don't have to and it won't change your (e-mail address removed)
address. It just provides another place to check for mail. If you want to
do that, like t-4-2 said, let us know the part after the @ symbol and we'll
help you through it.

Good luck with that job app . . . . . . .

you are able to spend time learning about computers.
