need help setting up email

this is probably one of the most basic questions, but, I'm trying to send an
email and when i try to sen it i have to go through the set up process. my
problem is I don't know where to find the information that it's asking for.
the Incoming mail e-mail server type, or the incoming mail (pop3 or imap)
server, the outgoing e-mail server (smtp) name. if someone could please help
this caveman understand this it would be most appreciated. Thanks

Re: need help setting up email

You will have to get that information from your Internet Service
Provider (ISP). Each ISP typically has a web page that explains how
to set up a mail account in your mail client. If you need more help,
tell us who your ISP is.

Hi Sasha,

Here is the setup link at Rogers.com. Look at the "POP3/IMAP Email" section and follow their instructions and click on the "View a demo...." link. It will show you how to setup your account.

Rogers.com - How do I setup MyMail?

Re: need help setting up email

They're who you pay for your connection to the internet. If you don't
pay anyone you may have a hard time getting email.
