Might be worth a try to search the support website of your e-mail provider. For Hotmail...try the following: In the My incoming mail server is a list, click POP3. In the Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP, or HTTP) server box, type pop3.live.com. In the Outgoing mail (SMTP) server box, type smtp.live.com Click the Advanced tab, and under Server Port Numbers, enter the following information, and then click OK: In the Outgoing mail (SMTP) box, type 25 or 587. In the Incoming mail (POP3) box, type 995. Under both Outgoing mail (SMTP) and Incoming mail (POP3), select the This server requires a secure connection (SSL) check box. Check the box - My Server Requires Authentication Here are links for info on other servers: POP3 SMTP Mail Servers for Time Warner - Road Runner Internet Service Providers http://tinyurl.com/jggmt or... http://www.realifewebdesigns.com/web...imewarner.html POP3 SMTP Mail Servers for popular Internet Service Providers http://tinyurl.com/aeswg or... http://www.realifewebdesigns.com/web...pop3-smtp.html -- J.

| | Re: setting up a new account Hi sharon Most e‑mail service provider should provide you with the information you need to sign in to your e‑mail account. If you don’t have this information available, contact your e‑mail provider. Your e‑mail provider is typically your Internet service provider (ISP), but might also be your employer, school, or an independent provider that offers POP3 or IMAP e‑mail accounts. Ensure that the above is set accordingly Regards "John Inzer" wrote: Quote: > sharon wrote: Quote: > > I'm trying to set up a new email account have followed the > > instructions all ok until it gets to the email server names for > > incoming and outgoing mail. > > > > how do I find out my email server names??? > Might be worth a try to search the > support website of your e-mail provider. > > For Hotmail...try the following: > > In the My incoming mail server is a list, click POP3. > > In the Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP, or HTTP) server box, type pop3.live.com. > > In the Outgoing mail (SMTP) server box, type smtp.live.com > > > Click the Advanced tab, and under Server Port Numbers, enter the > following information, and then click OK: > > In the Outgoing mail (SMTP) box, type 25 or 587. > > In the Incoming mail (POP3) box, type 995. > > Under both Outgoing mail (SMTP) and Incoming mail (POP3), select > the This server requires a secure connection (SSL) check box. > > Check the box - My Server Requires Authentication > > Here are links for info on other servers: > > POP3 SMTP Mail Servers for > Time Warner - Road Runner > Internet Service Providers > http://tinyurl.com/jggmt > or... > http://www.realifewebdesigns.com/web...imewarner.html > > POP3 SMTP Mail Servers for > popular Internet Service Providers > http://tinyurl.com/aeswg > or... > http://www.realifewebdesigns.com/web...pop3-smtp.html > > > -- > > J.
