Stupid question? Re new email add

ebaybaby

I know this may be a really daft question to some but I am really confused and hope some of you clever mse people can help me!

In 2 weeks time I am changing provider form orange to sky. I wont have the same email add, but, what do I do with the emails I have saved in my folders in Outlook express 6? I presume I wont be able to get to them becase that email add will be gone?

My mind is not working! Please help!

Your emails will be fine. They will still be there in the same folders.

You will have to change the email account details for the new account once it becomes active.

To be honest, I would leave the current details and simply ADD another account.
It is normal for ISP's to leave your account active for a little while after you have left them to enable you to retrieve any emails sent to your old account.

Sky won't give you much info about setting up an e-mail account on Outlook Express, its hidden somewhere in the Q and As.

When you have your Sky email address and password its easy to set up, Servers are incoming: pop.sky.com
Outgoing: smtp.sky.com

When you have changed over you can also change the outgoing server on your existing account to smtp.sky.com and you will be able to reply to any messages as they come in.
