I want to set up my windows email, but I'm a little confused. Is the windows program simply for downloading emails from my current email provider, whom I have a hotmail account through, or is it for setting up a new and different/seperate email account? So when the program prompts me for my "email" address should I type in my existing hotmail account?
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.
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 have just gotten a new computer and SBC helped me set up one of my email accounts in Windows but I have another that I need to set up. How do I go about doing this and where do I look to be able to choose which account I want to look at?
I have 2 email addresses and my ISP is att.yahoo.com PoP3 and SMTP one works and one doesn't - says doesn't recognize host name. Under Server - settings - advanced do I use same settings as incoming or log on using different email address and password?

I'm having a problem with my MS Office suite 2003 on my new PC (Belarc analysis below). Two issues that have been coming up for me are that my email settings in Outlook won't allow me to bring in my email (IMAP/SMTP set up) and the second is that any time I try to change my office assistant it keeps telling me I don't have enough memory (!). What's going on with this? After all, this is a 3 GB machine, things that worked on my 1 GB shouldn't have a problem.
I use a Verizon DSL connection. Operating System System Model Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1 (build 6001) Acer Aspire M5100 R01-A3 System Serial Number: PTS870X0738010852A2701 Enclosure Type: Desktop ......
I have verizon 1 main account and 2 sub accounts. I was able to set the 2 sub accounts up with no problem but the main one for the life of me I can't figure out how to get it set up. It keeps giving me a port 110 error which I am understanding is a known issue. Has anyone else been able to get it fixed or know where I can look to fix it. I really need this set up and its driving me crazy.
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 can't seem to get Windows Mail to accept my setting of a preferred font for the default. I am setting Ariel, but when a go to enter text in an email it uses the first font on the font list.
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?
When trying to open any attachment with the extension .email I get the dreaded message that there are no programs that will open this file and I have to create an extension in the Set Associations Control Panel. I have Vista OS 32 bit Home. All other extensions .eml work just fine and are shown to be opened in "Windows Mail" but the .email extension just will not open.
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.

When I have internet explorer open I used to be able to click on the upper right hand side of the screen in the little mail icon and outlook would open. Now when I click on it nothing happens. The only way to get to my email now is to click on the bottom left hand side, start and scroll up to email. Has a setting been changed?
I am unable to send messages from Windows mail. I get an error message:

I am sure that at one point I started setting up Windows Mail but never completed it, but at this point I am at a loss.
I receive a lot of e-mail from the same people and sometimes they come in as attachments when it's just a regular e-mail. It doesn't happen all the time. I sthere some setting I can change?
My system restore fails every time I attempt it. This has happened the last 3 times I had a need to attempt restore. (Three attempts separated by months in time, about different issues.) This time, I am thinking something may be wrong with my system restore function.
In this case, it is simply a matter of trying to roll back a browser update.
I saw a whole list of available restore points, and I went to the second one back - from only a few days ago. The restore failed.
I am using Windows Vista Home Premium, OEM from Gateway Laptop about 1.5 yrs old. I allow most updates.
About a week ago, I realized I could no longer send email. Same goes for my laptop on my home wireless network. Everything has been working fine for years and I don't recall making any changes that might affect the email. I have changed to port 587 and checked the authenticity required box but it didn't do any good. I went through Comcasts instructions for setting up email using Windows Vista, but it's still a no go. Another suggestion I read about is email scanning software. I turned of Norton 360 email scanner but it didn't fix the problem.
Here is the error I'm getting on my desktop box when I try to send a test msg to me (or anyone else for that matter). "The message could not be sent.

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?
It has happened occasionally, but with no predictability that I can see. I change settings in control pannel / power settings / balanced to 10 min for monitor and never for computer. I check the "advanced settings" to assure that they are the same. I use balanced because that seems to be the default in the registry. I do not see the actual settings in the registry. Every so often Vista resets the settings back to 20 min for the monitor. I have looked at but it speaks of "System Settings page" - I don't know what that is. In any case, my settings have no effect and I can't get the monitor to dependably go to standby after 10 minutes.

I use Gmail & my LSU email but I wanted to set up my emails to use Windows Mail. Can someone explain how I go about doing this? Or is it even worth it? Does Windows Mail cause headaches? Is there an advantage to it over email accounts set up with Gmail? If I do manage to set it up, is it possible to check my Windows Mail Inbox from another computer?
