Express:


Tools --> Accounts --> Mail tab --> Add Mail --> From Name --> yourname@isp.com --> pop.isp.com --> smtp.isp.com --> account name --> yourname (or yourname@isp.com) [check with isp] -->Password --> Finish --> Done

Then check with ISP if Secure Password Authentication needs to be ticked in the advanced settings (go back into pop.whatever and click on the servers tab) --> Ask if server needs authentication --> On advanced (along from server), check SSL needs to be ticked.

If it's a Hotmail account that you're trying to add to Outlook Express, I think you'll find that you can't do that anymore.

I have hotmail accounts installed on to my Outlook Express, but they have been there for some time, and I received the following from Hotmail in February this year:

Dear MSN Member,

Recently, Hotmail® announced that in order to improve customer experience and reduce spam and junk e-mail abuse on MSN® services, Hotmail will no longer allow new e-mail accounts to be accessed via Microsoft® Office Outlook® and Outlook Express.

We are pleased to inform you that because you are an existing and valued customer, at this time your current Hotmail and MSN account(s) are exempt from this restriction and you will be able to continue enjoying access to those accounts from Outlook or Outlook Express. However, any new Hotmail or MSN accounts you create will not be accessible via Outlook or Outlook Express.

Because you actively use Outlook or Outlook Express to access one or more of your MSN Hotmail or MSN e-mail accounts, this could be the ideal time to consider subscribing to our powerful new
e-mail service - Microsoft Office Outlook Live.

As an Outlook Live subscriber, not only can you get uninterrupted access to your MSN e-mail accounts from Outlook, but you will also enjoy many other benefits.
