Find out from the wallmar ISP what the mail settings are supposed to be, and
make sure you have an email address assigned to you by them.

The Wal Mart ISP is a modified version of AOL, I suspect that you cannot use Outlook Express as is
true with AOL.
 
AOL accounts have been accessible in OE for a while now.

I don't believe Wal-Mart accounts include POP3 access.

Actually, it is not true with AOL at all. I have an 'aol.com' email address
(and I didn't even have to sign up with AOL, the ISP to get it!). It works
just fine with MS Outlook Express.


If you know how to read message headers, here is proof of using MSOE to send
through AOL mail servers:

I have MSOE configured to use:

Incoming mail (IMAP): imap.aol.com (port 993)
Outgoing mail (SMTP): smtp.aol.com (port 587)

WalMart (assuming that the ISP in question is the same as the store)
probably has there own mail servers to use.
