oh, so you were looking for the outgoing server settings that newbie put out there?

Also, FYI as of 10/04/02 you can no longer use outlook/outlook express with your MSN DIALUP unless you are using HOTMAIL or your ASSIGNED MSN account! THIS SUCKS!

So if you are using OUTLOOK you will not be able to send out emails if you are using lets say, you@yourdomain.com!!!

This screwed me beyond belief on my laptop when traveling.

Peace

:D

I don't have a msn account, thank God. Just a msn email address. I got it to works, I wasn't really looking for smtp (out going) but I just took off the smtp. whatever and it worked fine, for pop3. Thanks

You should still be able to use Webmail if your host offers it. If not , find a host that does. Your registrar may offer it for an added fee.
Or switch to AOL:laugh:
I use that with OE for incoming and outgoing.
