I need help with an email.

I need help setting up email on my computer. Can anyone help?

  • I am trying to properly set up email on my computer using Microsoft Outlook express. I get to the box that says type my name, and I do, then i hit next, and i type in my email address, then next i go to where it says to enter my incoming mail server as a POP3, IMAP, or HTTP, and then it asks me to enter the outgoing mail (SMTP) server. I have no idea what these things are, or where to find them. I keep picking differnt things, and it will say that my email is set, but when i try to send mail, it will not work because it says error, that it doesnt understand the incoming mail server, or outgoing server i selected. does this sould familiar to anyone? help please

  • Answer:

    We don't have enough information to help you yet. The computer is asking you exactly the same questions we would ask you. If you have personal email on the web like google, yahoo, lycos, hotmail, live or any of the zillion others, we can help, but need to know which it is. A huge help would be giving your email address. DONT GIVE YOUR FULL ADDRESS HERE. If your address is [email protected], just say you have an @yahoo.com address. Get it? The first part is personal, everything after the @ is public, and that's what we need to know to help you. Let us know, and we'll help. good luck.

They vary by provider,, sometimes you can do a google search of your in & out servers and the name of your internet provider, or call your tech line and the help desk can tell you. what they are. Also the next entry is the user name and passowrd. The user name is usually the first part of your email address before the @ and what ever the passowrd they assigned you. Your correct , they have to match whats on the email server or it will error out.
