Depends on what type of mail server your ISP offers. They can tell you.
Most likely, it's POP.

Depends a lot on what version of Outlook you have. Your ISP should have a
web page that contains instructions. Those instructions may be written
explicitly for Outlook Express, but it's easy to adapt them to Outlook,
since the account wizards are similar and require identical information.
