i have DSL through my local isp as well as a mailbox thru them. i also have a
mailbox thru yahoo and msn hotmail. i'm attempting to set up email through
outlook express but with no luck. hopefully someone can tell me what i'm
doing wrong. here's how i'm going about it:
open outlook > tools > accounts > mail tab > mail > (goes to internet
connect wizard): > display name (here, i type my name) > internet email
address (i use the email address thru my isp) > email server names (incoming:
POP3, outgoing:SMTP) internet mail logon (i type my acct name and password) >
(the next dialog box asks me to select a method of connecting (i select LAN)
click finish in the next box.
Click to expand...

when i try to send a message to myself (to one of my other mailboxes), it
doesn't go thru. what am i doing wrong ? would app any help

Outlook (OL) and Outlook Express (OE) are different applications.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q257824

Post any error messages you're receiving.

Contact your ISP for the proper settings to use in OE.

To be able to access your Yahoo and Hotmail accounts in OE, you must
subscribe to Yahoo Mail Plus (http://mailplus.mail.yahoo.com/) and Hotmail
Plus (http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-us&page=hotmail/es), respectively.
