Probs with outlook and adding a new account

Micro

I have never used outlook for my emails but need to now. The problem is that when I try and create a new account an error message comes up and says that there is a prob with the registration and it will not let me add an account. Anyone know why this is and if there is another mail system I can use. Ive been given an email address and a pop3 number but not sure what this means

Micro

Ive been given a Incoming Mail Server (POP3) and Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) but dont know what to do with them

Thunderbird is ok I have used it for years it is available here
It will ask you to set up your accounnt when you install
put in your email address, it will try and determine what mail system you should use ie POP/IMAP etc and it will be transparent from there on. Your post states you have a POP account which is Post Office Protocol. You will need to enter the smtp server address in the outgoing server part.

Does this help?
