Hi...I recently did the worlds stupidest thing with XP
and changed my password in a not so sober state, and had
to totally reinstall it in order to get back in. Now I'm
trying to get it somewhat back to the way that it was,
and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get my
msn mail back in Outlook Express. I've followed the
instructions for hotmail, but mine is not a hotmail
address....it's a .msn account. I remember having to do
something different when setting it up before, but that
was over a year ago, and I am at a total loss. I'd
appreciate any help!
 
So go to Tools>Accounts>Mail Tab. Click Add. On the Servers tab your MSN
server is a POP3 type. The incoming mail server is pop3.email.msn.com. The
outgoing server is secure.smtp.email.msn.com. Check Remember Password,
check Log On Using ..., check My Server Requires ... That should get you
going. On the Connection tab make sure your connection shows up there.
