| | Re: e-mail The Outlook Express email program in XP was no more 'automatic' than the Windows Mail program in Vista. Is Insightbb.com your mail provider? How did you access that email under XP, with a browser or with an email client? If the latter, try following the email setup instructions provided by your mail provider: http://www.insightcom.com/help-bb-7154.htm -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "bud camp" <bartmongo@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:%23Skm0ziAJHA.1016@xxxxxx Quote: > How are you supposed to set up e-mail??

| | Re: e-mail The newer Windows Live Mail does this to some extent for the most popular mail providers. You give it your email address, and you can elect to have it configure the servers automatically. The problem is that the server information goes out-of-date. For example, I gave it my sbcglobal.net address, and it configured some old server settings that were no longer valid. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "Sam" <spam@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:CF001C6D-2F4C-4E6C-85B8-16AA95CFAD77@xxxxxx Quote: > Just saying, Outlook 2007 has a feature that is *supposed* to automatically > configure this stuff for you. > -- > "...I fail to understand why they feel the need to convince people > who are happy with Vista that they are wrong.
