If you can't receive email, then you've set up your email account
incorrectly. Since you haven't told us anything about how you connect to
the Internet, what program you are using for email, or the name of your ISP
no one can give you more specific advice.

Go to your ISP's tech support website. They will have instructions as to how
to set up major email clients with their service. You need to know your
username and password for the ISP.

Hello.
Someone can help you.
Perhaps you abbreviated your username/password when entering it in your new
email client?
Perhaps you entered the wrong username/password or the wrong account
(POP/SMTP/IMAP/other) information when setting up the account.

In order to properly connect to your email account you need:
- An email client (the program you use to access your email.) This may be
Internet Explorer and you check your email via the web or it may be Outlook
Express or Thunderbird or Outlook or Eudora or... Well - you get the idea.
- Your email account information. This includes your email account username
(may be just a username or could be a (e-mail address removed)) and associated
password. It also - if using an actual client and not a web browser to
check your email - includes the server information and sometimes even ports
and other particulars in order to connect securely (or just at all.)

After those things are gathered (and you have verified how to set it up with
your individual email service provider - as they likely have instructions in
a ready-made document/video/etc.) - you simply use it all to setup your
email account.

Or - in your abbreviated posting format:
RTFM.
