How can I get a free email account for Outlook - I've always used a wizard before, but I've just installed XP and managed to lose the ones that I had........

 

Pished but...

You need to have an email service (free or not) already set up to be able to use Outlook...

IE Outlook is what you use to see/read/send emails from an email service - like I could use it to (do the above) for my SIDC Webmail account.

 

what was your previous email address? is it from your ISP or other third party web-based email like hotmail, yahoo, etc (using POP3 or IMAP)?

 

I had an account with NTL I think. I pick up my incoming mail from a POP3 server so just used the free one for outgoing. Therefore I can't remeber what it was, I just pasted the outgoing settings from the free account to my POP one.

I know I could do it by installing a freeserve disk or something like that - I just wondered if it was possible without doing all that.
