I am trying to help a friend get his email working and the ISP has supplied
his user name and password but he is not sure of his email address
How can I find out?

The username IS the email address when you put it in the
form of being @the ISP.

The ISP has mail servers and the ISP has a name. So
(e-mail address removed) perhaps (e-mail address removed) would be
the email address. The ISP will have an email FAQ, list of
server addresses/names to use when you create the account in
your email program.

Thanks for your help.
I got my friend to get his user name and password from blueyonder.
The user name surprised me because it was in the form of 11 alpha numeric
letters and numbers
But this must be OK as I was able to open the internet site Ok but it was
the email which was stuck.
I need to know his email address and password. Would the ISP know that as
well?
I think the confusion is worse when I hear him say that some of his helpers
changed the names and he doesn't know how it ended up

The ISP will have his email information.
For ISP webmail, username and password will be the same as his username and
password for access to ISP.

Using dialup or DSL connection?

You can use Outlook, Outlook express, etc to read his ISP mail account.
These all use his ISP email information.

Can also create email accounts independent of ISP mail account ie Gmail,
Hotmail, etc. These accounts will require him to create a new username and
password for the account. These accounts do not normally read his ISP mail
account but some can be setup that way.
 
If you logon the ISP site and go to their email site, you
may be able to create an email address with any name you
choose. That is how I do it on Cox.net.

Your best source is the ISPs help and support pages/FAQs.

Why don't you just ask him for the information if he's your friend? He
should give it to you since you're being nice enough to help him out.

Thanks for your help. Yes I have found the help in setting up an email
account on the blueyonder web site but I'm afraid I will have to visit him
again to hold his hand in using it,
