Post Office Email And Setting It Up

Alison18

Hi I was wondering if someone could help me please?

Ive just switched broadband providers and am now with the post office. I have got a post office email address and my email before that was a sky email. Ive just installed windows live mail because I want to be able access both emails whilst im phasing the sky one out.

Ive gone into windows live mail and set up the sky email and have had no problems at all. The problem Ive got is getting the post office email to work. Ive had a google and cant really seem to find any settings for windows live mail. Im just wondering if anyone knows whether it is compatable and if so what they setting were I need?

Thanks

Alison

Why are you phasing out your Sky email, which is OEM GMail and yours for life?

Is the post office email for life if you decide to change ISPs again in the future.?

buy a domain[ say from 123reg.co.uk] use domain email to redirect to any email , so no matter who you are with you just have to point your email to new provider.
I have email [email]zee@[xxxx.co.uk[/email] [ my domain] and redirect to googlemail, also have done this with aol for 7 years, less to type in as well fo £7 every 2 years.[ upto 90 redirects] and when too mutch spam comes in just delete email causing spam.

Thank you everyone for your replies and a big thank you for Penrhyn explaining that the sky email is for life. I will definitely keep the sky email going now I know this and youve saved me a lot of time from changing everything.

Thanks
