RE: Installing Outlook Express

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hi Margaret - I'm not an MVP or anything but I can at least try and help you.

Some where along the line on your old system that had OE on it, you, or
someone else HAD to have set up your mail server account(s) with your
username, password, etc.... it is my humble opinion that that is what is
going on. You need to get into OE setup menu for email account(s) and set up
your username and password (as well as the mail server address/domain name).
If you don't have the server information, then you need to contact your ISP
to find it out.

Hope this helps

Lonnie
