Re: I dont get it

This is a question for your ISP, he'll have all these answers. A quick call
should answer all...

Neither POP3 nor IMAP are valid server names. They work as protocols,
though.
Ask your email provider (who is probably also your internet provider) for
their
instructions for setting up to use their email servers, which should include
the
server names. If they haven't written instructions for Windows Mail yet,
use
their instructions for Outlook Express but under Windows Mail instead. Or,
you
could tell us who your email provider is and see if anyone here already
knows
where to find the instructions.

Call MTS and they will walk you through it.
