Questions About EMail

Can I use Outlook or Outlook Express instead of my ISP's mail client?
Yes, you can usually use any Email program in place of your ISP's mail client as long as you know or can find out the mail settings they use. For instance, if you want to configure Outlook Express to use with your Comcast email, just setup a new account in Outlook Express and input the proper POP3 and SMTP settings when asked. Comcast uses mail.comcast.net for POP3 and smtp.comcast.net for their SMTP settings.

How can I backup my Emails, contacts and other data in Outlook or Outlook Express?
We have some tutorials on that located here but you may want to invest in a program called Backup Email to do the job for you. This way you know that it's done properly and you can restore your Emails whenever you need to.

I get so much SPAM, how can I stop it?
If you're completely inundated with SPAM, it may already be too late. Perhaps you should consider switching to a different Email address. Otherwise, there are some programs out there that do quite a good job, such as SPAMBully, while others are hit and miss. GMail also does a great job of filtering SPAM, and you can sign up for a free Email account or even add your existing POP3 accounts.

How do I create an account in Outlook Express?
You will need to know the server's POP3 and SMTP settings to create a new account in Outlook Express (or any other client, for that matter). Open OE and go to TOOLS, then Accounts and the Wizard will begin. Type the name you want to appear in your Emails in the first box and click NEXT. Then enter the Email address, ie. bobsmith@comcast.net and click NEXT. You will then be asked to enter both the POP3 and SMTP information. Lastly, you'll need to enter the username and password to access that Email. That's it, you're finished.

Can I check my Email from anywhere?
That depends. If you have Outlook or a similar client already configured on your laptop, then sure, you can check your Email anywhere. All you need is an Internet connection. But if you're on a library computer or borrowing one from a friend, then you cannot use a Windows mail client unless you go through the process of configuring that on their computer. Instead, try logging in directly through your ISP's website. Or if you have an Internet Email client, such as Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, ect. . . you can check it from anywhere you have an Internet connection.
