Windows Forum / Outlook Express / General Topics / March 2008Help with new email address
Hello folks Whilst I realise that this must be very basic, I cannot get it sorted. I have just signed up for a new email address with Yahoo. The new address is "myname1000@yahoo.com". My new password is "password". I cannot get OE to work with this. Although it will accept the new info when typed in, when starting OE it will not accept it and keeps comes up with a window asking for the correct password. Although the password is already in the box, I retype it and it will still not accept. I am using a shared wireless connection provided from BT. Can I assume that 'free' email services must go through the appropriate website rather than through OE. Hope that this is enough info. Your help is and always has been very much appreciated. Thanking you in anticipation.  SignatureBig Rick Is this a pop account? What server settings are you using?

I think Michael has hit the nail on the head with the 'free' email info. Perhaps you or someone else can point me in the direction of any other free email that can be used with OE, or is that an impossibility.

Who do you pay for your mothly Internet connection? As long as you have that, OE is a free e-mail client. I just use my TV/Cable company.

Gmail works with MS Outlook Express, as does AOL Mail. If you have access to an SMTP service, Fastmail provides free IMAP access. SignatureNorman ~Shine, bright morning light, ~now in the air the spring is coming. ~Sweet, blowing wind, ~singing down the hills and valleys. Thanks to Gregg and N.Miller for the info. Just signed up to Gmail and now working fine with OE. Thanks to Bruce as well. Unfortunately this is not an option. I pay a small fee to a neighbour for use of their wireless bradband. I cannot really get involved and try to obtain a new email address. I might be pushing my luck with them. Best regards to you all.
