need help using outlook express!
Hello
I have never used outlook express before, but a friend asked me to set up a PC for her mum, which was simple enough - other than it is beyond me how to use Outlook. I have followed what seems logic to set up outlook to get and send emails from her account - and it simply fails all the time. I used server names: pop.freeserve.co.uk smtp.freeserve.co.uk The account she has is a broadband connection, account name format: I even tried to set up my PC to pick up my yahoo webmail, followed the instructions on yahoo.com exactly and it constantly failed saying "password invalid" (but i checked I had the right password by signing into the webmail) I am guessing everyone here must know how to use freeserve... am wondering if anyone can help or point me in the direction of some idiot proof instructions before it sends me mad!

This is the error message I get with my own yahoo account: "There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was rejected. Account: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Server: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR invalid user/password', Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92" I am 100% certain I am entering the right password. Ive copied and pasted what I put in into the web page to sign in and was succesful "Adam Douglas" wrote in message ...

Outlook and Outlook Express are completely different programs. For Outlook Express issues, see news://msnews.microsoft.com.microsof...re ss.general and http://www.insideoutlookexpress.com/ -- Brian Tillman |
