I recently changed internet providers and now my main e-
mail won't work. If I get in somewhere on the web and
need to e-mail someone it opens up outlook express which
is connected to my previous ISP and it won't let me send
out e-mail through that one. HOw do I change it so that I
can send e-mail?
 
Your new ISP should have given you instructions to set up
your email account. In Outlook Express, you can click on
Tools, Accounts to set up your new account. You will need
information from your new ISP on the settings. As a first
guess if you don't have the info handy, many ISPs commonly
use "mail" as the incoming POP server. This is also often
the outgoing server or sometimes "smtp". You may also
have to use the longer version such as mail.att.net or
smtp.verizon.net depending on your isp.

Your old email address will no longer be valid.

Click to expand...

Open OE - Tools - Accounts - Add -
General = Fill out the information
Server = Fill out the information

All of the above information can be acquired from the
paperwork that you received, your ISP's home page,
or over the phone.
