Techy help required again please.

Hi,

Im just trying to set up outlook express on my PC.

Couple of questions as i have never used it before

1) is it possible to have mutiple email accounts ont here so i can see all my mail using just outlook?

2) When i try and register an address it asks for the incoming mail server and also the outgoing mail server, what the hell does this mean and how do i find it out??

OR

is there any other available software, that i might be able to get hold of free that will alow me to have a central mailbox for all my email accounts? as i now have at least 4 if not 5.

Any help would be appreciated.

1) Yesit does, open a Mail account for each one

2) Depends upon your ISP I believe.

Anything has to be better than lookout express.

Serverwise - ask the provider/look at their docs.

If you go to the website for your ISP, they should have a help section with the incoming and outgoing mail settings listed for their service and your Outlook.  I have 4 email addys set up to land in my Outlook and I'm no computer techy, so I reckon we'll get you through this ok.

Yes, outlook express is awesome for this, forget all the imposters the original is still the best.

Yes you can have as many incoming mailboxes as you like...

The incoming mail server will be a different mail server for each account.....  The outgoing mailserver will always be the same for every account, and that is the outgoing mail server of your ISP...

I have maybe 8 accounts running on OE...

It's called lookout express for a reason...

Thankyou all for your help. We use it in work for merging the 4 different area office mail boxes so i thought it was possible, just when i have tried it before always got stuck at that server info page.

Will try it later on this arfo and update on here.

Go on then, explain why it doesn't do this.

It's more the security side I was on about, rather than the features.
