How do I configure my POP3 and SMTP strings in Outlook
Express when I have AOL as my ISP? I have been using:
POP3 ==> www.mydomain.com
SMTP ==> www.aol.com
This has worked for the last 18 months, but is now being
blocked by AOL.
AOL says they do not support POP3. Is anybody trying to
do this besides me?
 
I doubt www.aol.com was your SMTP server, but anyway, might want to consider
ditching AOL. They won't do this for you. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, they
won't even let you use someone else's SMTP server while on their network.

Also note - it doesn't really matter for this question, but this is a group
to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.

Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

A good website for information on OE is:
