Creating my own Outlook e-mail address
I recently purchased Microsoft Enterprise 2007. I am trying to familiarize
myself with Outlook 2007 as I am fairly adept with Outllook 2003. But I have a question that will sound rather boneheaded for somebody who is supposedly computer savvy, especially with Outlook, Excel, Word... In my previous experience with ANY Microsoft applications, the portal was provided by an employer's Administrator, so I already had an Outlook e-mail address provided for me. In this case, I am the Administrator. How do I create my Outlook e-mail address? Or did I already do this in the heady rush to get my new toy activated and simply forgot?

Creating my own Outlook e-mail address
To obtain an email address you need a mail provider. There are generally
three types of mail providers: - free, web-based accounts (Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail) - an account provided by your ISP - an account provided by your employer's mail admin You cannot have a mail address by Outlook alone, it needs a mail server that can be found on the Internet, and that handles your incoming & outgoing mail messages.

Creating my own Outlook e-mail address
Okay, I have a Yahoo address...it even shows as the account in Outlook under
Account Settings. But for some reason, every time I send it returns an error saying "Service Unavailable" and the messages stay indefinitely in the Outbox. -- Richard Champlin "Richard Champlin" wrote: I recently purchased Microsoft Enterprise 2007.

Yahoo is currently experiencing problems on a large scale.
Also, do you have a paid account (Mail Plus)? Richard Champlin wrote: Okay, I have a Yahoo address...it even shows as the account in Outlook under Account Settings.

No,
I do not have Mail Plus. I have a free account that I opened in 2003. Could that be the problem, or part of it? -- Richard Champlin "Pat Willener" wrote: Yahoo is currently experiencing problems on a large scale. Also, do you have a paid account (Mail Plus)?
