I have tried to set up an email acount with microsoft windows, but only got as far as receiving an error report. I filled in POP3 on the first part of the server dialogue box and SM(P?)T on the second box. These were complete random guesses as I have no idea what they mean or what the correct ones are, far less how to find them. Why do they have to make these systems so difficult? How do I find out this information?
I'm trying to set up an account but when it gets to the POP3 & SMTP I'm not quite sure what to enter there. It's very hard for me to send out attachments or just general mail unless I have it. I'm using Windows Vista and I do have an hotmail email account. You can respond back to that email which is mz_nette2fine4u@hotmail.com I'll check it periodically to see if anyone has responded back to me.
I'm having a problem setting up the mail account. I know e Windows goes to Outlook, but when I try to set up windows to use, it always shows up "Dial-up". I have them set"never dial-up", but the box won't change. I have other emails that work fine, but on this I'm baffled...
I am trying to set up my email account for: anyafaires@yahoo.co.uk on my new laptop, on windows mail, I keep getting the error message. What am I doing wrong? I am putting pop.mail.yahoo.com as the incoming server, and smtp.mail.yahoo.com as the outgoing one.
In Control Panel - Mail - Mail Setup - email accounts, I type in the required details to set up an existing mail and it doesn't recognise it when it tries to read the server (red cross instead of tick). I have tried a Yahoo account, Windows Live account and another one, and tried using "unencrypted" and since my knowledge of Vista is fairly basic, I am not sure about doing it manually.
I'm trying to set up a new email account on a new laptop. I've got my own email account on my own PC but want to set up a separate account for my wife on the laptop. So far as I am aware I've followed all the printed instructions but still can't get the account to work. Step by step this is what I've done:
1 clicked Tools>Accounts>Add 2 (a) on the Properties>General Page I've typed my wife's name in Mail Account (b) in User Information I've put her name (c) in Email Adress I've put her name xxxxxxxxxx@btinternet.com (d) ticked 'Include this account when receiving mail or synchronising'3 on the Servers Page: (a) Incoming Mail POP3 I've entered mail.btinternet.com (b) Outgoing Mail SMTP I've entered mail.btinternet.com (c) in Email User Name I've entered my wife's name (not the email address) (d) when I try to enter a password the space is grayed out..............
I'm trying to set up a new email account have followed the instructions all ok until it gets to the email server names for incoming and outgoing mail. how do I find out my email server names?
I can not get windows mail to accept my gmail account. I have set it up many times the exact way I am showed how, but I can not get it to take. I keep getting a message the it can not verify my credentials.
It seems like i entered my POP3 and SMTP correctly but at the time of sending a message it asks me to verify my username and password and when I enter it the same verification boxs pops out again. I hVE Yahoo messaging and entered pop.mail.yahoo.com and smtp.mail.yahoo.com. What am I doing wrong? Is my username my email address? Im confused now.
I have a Windows Live Mail account and a Yahoo account and they both show up on the left hand side of my Window Live Mail account so I can choose which account I want to use or, for example, which inbox to look in. At the bottom, also on the left hand side of my Windows Live Mail account, it shows 'Add e-mail account', which is what I want to do with a new 'AOL' account and I want it to show on the left hand side like the two other accounts.
So I made a new AOL e-mail account, clicked 'Add e-mail account' at the bottom of my 'Windows Live Account', then I put in my new AOL e-mail account and password where it showed me. Then I clicked next.
The next page was all about my email server. When I did this before with a new e-mail account, it was all filled out automatically for me, but this time, all the blanks were left open and I have no idea what to fill in. I believe once I have this information, the AOL e-mail account will automatically then show on the left hand pane of my Windows Live Mail account below the other two accounts.
I have recently been receiving duplicate mail in my POP3 account. I receive about 3 or 4 of the same e-mail a day and it is getting really annoying. I have removed my anti-virus and do not have duplicate accounts. I don't know what to do.
Cannot get Windows mail to connect to my Yahoo POP3 server. Contacted Yahoo and we installed telnet and successfully connected to the servers through there. Old computer had Outlook express connected to the same account and I had no problems. Have checked the setting numerous times to insure they are correct. Have tried different port 's and different configurations - get different error messages but still no luck. Have checked all the firewalls (only have one on) and it has been configured to let Windows Mail have full access.

My email account and online bank account was recently hacked so I'm absolutely freaked out and I'm terrified of using the internet to buy things/book holidays. I am running Vista home premium and my AV is Kaspersky 8.0.0.357 (which has obviously failed to do its job). This is my Hijack this log file:is v2.0.2

Just turned on the Guest Account for the first time. When I switch to this account, the desktop comes up with a bunch of misc blanked-out icons which it will not allow me to delete. And there's a blizzard of "Windows cannot open this file" messages - for shortcut links and for ..exe files including rundll32, issch, eullauncher, sttray, etc. How do I clean this up and start the Guest acct with a blank desktop?
I wanted to either set up my yahoo account or hotmail account to windows mail. I also wanted to know how i can configure it in with my internet explorer so that way when I am trying to email someone it can just automatically pop up!
I have been using windows mail with my current ISP for a few years with no issues. Suddenly when I try and replicate I get the following message: Account: 'pop3.slingshot.co.nz', Server: 'pop3.slingshot.co.nz', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC19

I am trying to set up my account and I have an aol email account. Aol says to use: The basic information that you need to setup using IMAP and POP3 is as follows: Your e-mail address is screenname@aol.com or screenname@aim.com. Be sure to include the @aol.com or @aim.com suffix. The incoming mail (POP) server address is: imap.aol.com and imap.aim.com for IMAP, and pop.aol.com or pop.aim.com for POP3. Check the box for leaving messages on the server. The outgoing mail (SMTP) server address is: smtp.aol.com or smtp.aim.com, port: 587. Your user name is your AOL or AIM screen name. Your password is your AOL?? or AIM?? password-------I typed all the fields up to the outgoing info. the box would no accept : smtp.aol.com, port 587.
I have Windows VISTA Ultimate. I have a recognised fax modem installed. I have verified VISTA can test and validate it is working. When I try to set up a Fax Account - Fax and Scan / Tools / Fax Accounts / Add / Connect to a fax modem / Chose a Modem Name - no matter what I enter in this field, I get an error message "The mentioned fax server is not available. Please correct the server name and try again"
I remember the solution involved creating an admin account to change a setting. I don't remember what I changed either. So that account sits there, unused, and I've decided to remove it. The problem is that I don't know how. In account management, for that account, there is no "delete the account" or "change account type" options. Does anyone know why this is?
I cannot send email using windows mail. It says errors with outlook express and the followining error message. Account: 'pop3', Server: '110', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC19
I am trying to send emails and for some reason it keeps telling me that the server POP3 cannot find the host. This started about a week ago and i cannot figure out why it all of the sudden started or how to fix it,
