Orange emails through Outlook?

Hi
Have just changed isp to orange, and can't use my old BT email anymore, (which used to go through to my outlook just fine) so i created an orange emaila ddy, and tried to sort Outlook so my emails would come through without me having to log into orange etc.
It won't work properly, and i wonder if someone can help me set it up?
I put my password in and clicked the 'save' button, and everytime i open Outlook it asks me for the password repeartedly yet still doesn't download my emails.
I'm not sure if as well as changing the email addy, the smpt and pop settings i should be chaning something else too?
Thanks!
:o:o:o

    Yes you will definitely need to change the POP3 and SMTP settings, details can be found on the Orange support website.

    You can leave your BT e-mail account as it is in Outlook and providing that you connect using dial-up every 90 days, the account will stay active. e.g. it has to be accessed using BT as an ISP not Orange.
