Very basic !!

I am having prob setting up another mail account on my outlook express. I follow the wizard, it says I am done but nothing happens there after inc when I switch identities.
apparently :

For e-mail accounts, you'll need to know the type of e-mail server you use (POP3, IMAP, or HTTP), your account name and password, the name of the incoming e-mail server and, for POP3 and IMAP, the name of an outgoing e-mail server.
Now how the fook do I find that out ???
I am sure this is very simple but.....well so am I ;) :D
Cheers

Who is the second E-mail account held with? Let us know and we'l llet you know :D

Generally the settings are:
pop3.<ISP>.co.uk
smtp.<ISP>.co.uk

I have tried the pop3.bt..... thing but then the default (my) account doesnt work !! And we cant have that !! just so the wife can get an account:rolleyes:

BTW, it is possible have different settings for each account if necessary (e.g. if the wifes account is with a different ISP)

However, 99% of the time you MUST send email using the outgoing server of the ISP you are connected via, so you cannot send mail out on BTO's servers if you have connected via Freeserve, and vice versa.
