Running Office Standard 2007 on Vista Home Basic. My default email client is
Outlook. I'm not using Exchange.

I can't logon to the control panel of the Web site I'm trying to set up,
even though I'm a subscriber to the host. I can't get my user name and
password together. The host tech says this failure calls for adjusting my
ISP's outgoing mail server.

My ISP tech advises that I connect to my host through Outlook Express. But
the OE download links I've tried don't work.

So is there any way I can use Outlook for everything except connecting with
my Web site and use OE only for that?


Either you've misunderstood what your ISP tech said, or he doesn't
know what he's talking about. Note the following:

1. There is no Outlook Express in Vista. The equivalent program is now
called "Windows Mail." You are not using, and can not use, Outlook
Express for anything under Vista.

2. Neither Outlook Express nor Windows Mail are used to connect to any
web site, nor can they do so. You connect to a web site with a Web
Browser; Internet Explorer is the default browser that come with
Windows, but you can use any browser you choose.

You say "I can't logon to the control panel of the Web site I'm trying
to set up, even though I'm a subscriber to the host. I can't get my
user name and password together. The host tech says this failure
calls for adjusting my ISP's outgoing mail server." I'm lost in these
sentences, and really understand what your problem is. Can you clarify
exactly what you are trying to do, please? Include the URL of the web
site you're trying to use.
