How do I find my incoming and outgoing server Pop3 etc.

I am trying to send email via Craigslist postings and I can't get past the
popup box that wants me to fill in info on who is my ingoing and outgoing
server. I just assumed it was aol, but it keeps rejecting it. I put in Pop3
after reading the info on it and that didn't work either. This is very
confusing and I am losing the chance to get a great apartment since I cannot
correspond to the Craigslist email. Please can someone help me now!!! thanks
you

I have no idea what Craigslist is or how you access it, but I found a post
by MVP Gary VanderMolen, that the user responded back as having worked for
him:

Use the following fix to register Hotmail as your default email:

Well, you first need to determine who your email provider is,
and if you have more than one, which one you want as the default.
Let us know.

Another responder already gave you a solution in case you
want to use Hotmail as your default email. If that is not
suitable for you, let us know.

You know, in a pinch you can always copy the email address
from Craigslist and paste it into your desired email app.
