Vista - smtp, pop3,?

08-26-2007

I see that there are a lot of posts about the SMTP and POP3 servers. Can
anyone tell me where I can find that information? I am on a wireless hot spot
so I don't have an internet provider per se.
I also tried clicking on a link that brings up an account, that tries to set
up a new email account for me, but it asks me for this information and I
don't know it and don't know where to find it so I have to quit the email
wizard.
Thanks for any help I might get.

From whoever supplies you with your email account, usually your ISP.

If you don't have your own ISP you can get a Gmail account
and set it up on Windows Mail.

Gmail is ideal for someone without their own ISP account.
