Vista - setting up a new email account

09-13-2007

I have tried to set up a new account in windows vista and I keep getting this
error. I know I am obviously entering something wrong. My ISP is
comsouth.net.
Can anyone give me some advice.

The host 'comsouth' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered
the server name correctly.
Account: 'comsouth', Server: 'comsouth', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110,

"comsouth" is not a proper name for a mail server.
According to the directions posted by your ISP:
http://www.comsouthcomputerservices....t%20E-Mail.htm
the incoming mail server is actually named mail.comsouth.net.
