I just got Microsoft Office 2003. I was working on Outlook and in order for
me to send emails I have to subscribe to a charged msn account of about $50 a
month. Is there any other option to subscribe to a service that I don't have
to pay for?

Thanks a bunch,
Sam
 
Regular POP3 or IMAP accounts provided by your ISP are what most stand-alone
users use.
Gmail offers free POP3 accounts.
If you can't access any of these then I'd look at changing to a full
provider.
 
I have no idea what a POP3, IMAP and ISP means. Could you please define them
in lamest terms.

Thanks,
Sam
 
POP3 and IMAP accounts are just the usual way to work with email.
ISP = Internet Service Provider. When you sign up for an Internet account
your ISP usually supplies an email account. That account is usually of type
POP3 but might be a different type - IMAP. They usually give instructions on
how to add that account to your email client - in this case Outlook.

For those who want or need additional email accounts you can get them via
free or paid services.

Who provides your internet service?
 
Do you know of the other e-mails accounts that I can use for Outlook that I
won't have to pay for.
 
Who provides your internet service? That is the first place to look.
Gmail is free and works in Outlook. you need to go through there help system
to find out how to active POP3 access then follow the instructions on how to
add the account to Outlook.
