wizard sets up outlook extra account but it fails to work

[Guest]

Additional account sets up ok with the wizard, including test e mail. But it
does not work. I try sending a test email from hotmail and it does not
arrive, nor can i send anything. Is it to do with wanadoo not providing extra
passwords for extra accounts.
I hate sending e mails with my wifes address. I want my own.

Did wanadoo assign you your own address?

Your response contained nothing more than a quote if my message.

Sorry Brian as I said I am a beginner who is getting on in years. I have
recently moved to France from the UK and all the instructions I get are in
French which I am learning. So, when we got wanadoo livebox we may have said
no when we meant yes. We may have been asked if we wanted 2 addresses and i
would have assumed that we would have been given 2 but in short I don,t know.
Is there a way of telling without contacting Wanadoo (Orange)? I am now going
to press the post button below as I did with my previous reply to you and
hope this gets through and does not disappear into a black hole.

This is the first thing you must determine, because if you want an address
distinct from that of your wife, it is your ISP that must supply it. Many
ISPs will supply two or more addresses for each subscriber. Sometimes there
are separate mailboxes and sometimes aliases. My ISP supplied me with up to
ten that I could create myself and they are distinct mailboxes.

In the meantime, though, in your original post you mentioned Hotmail. Is it
a free Hotmail account or a paid one? If the latter, you could use that
address in Outlook and it would be distinct from her's which, I asume, is a
@wanadoo.com address.
