Hello. I use Outlook at work and wanted to start using it
at home too. The difference is, I have DSL at work and I
have AOL at home. Can you and if so, how would you
configure Outlook to be used with AOL as your ISP? When
you go thru setting up Outlook, you have to put it pop and
smtp addresses... I'm lost there. I called AOL but they
wouldn't give me a straight answer. They said they
thought it could be done, but said I would have to contact
Microsoft to do it. Thought I'd ask to see if anyone else
had successfully done this. Thanks.
 
Sorry, We at Microsoft have the same problem that you do...
AOL cannot give us the names of THIER Servers.
Therefore, AOL is not compatible with Outlook.
I would recommend Roadrunner, Comcast, Bellsouth, or any other ISP that can
tell you the names of the POP and SMTP servers.

(Not MSN 8, it is an HTTP server)
