Is he trying to connect to his new e-mail address from his new ISP?

Try the ISP's website. Most will have an explenation on how you should configure OE.

You need to find out the ISP provider's Pop 3 and SMTP address.

As an example, if you use Cox your address might be [email protected].

In OE Tools-> Accounts-> Mail -> ADD -> Mail.

There you would enter Marty.

Next you would enter your address, for this example: Marty @cox.net.

Next dialog box prompts you to enter the Pop3 and SMTP address.

You're ISP is more than likely Pop3, so choose that.

An example of the the address would be "incoming mail" = pop.east.cox.net

"outgoing mail" = smtp.east.cox.net.

Of course these are just examples, but that's how it's done.

I have nothing different to add, these guys appears to have it under control.

Contact your ISP.

=====================================================

ok i found the trouble. i was coping and paste

a thank you

to joe

and when i pasted it must pasted the whole post

instead of just joes user name.

so sorry bout that.

ok back to the thread

i thought the email on broadband .

was configured

differently than dial up

as when we pressed send and recieve

it gave us an error message

i think the message said wrong user name or password.

ok so we need to get the user an PW

right

thanks guys

i appreciate your help

especially joe

tho thanks to all

hi team well we got the broadband

email thing sorted out and

irregularjoe

was right

it was a matter of getting the address right

an we finally got it going

by following joes info

so thanks all

and the family concerned would like to thank you all

as i printed it out and showed them the result .

i would like to ask for my own interest.

what sort of virus scanner would you use,

on

this broardband sys .as

all the info is relayed, to your sys is very fast.

would any of the free scanners like avg. avast.

ect.be able to handle the speed of this sys .

or would you have to get somthing like nortons. housecall.

panda. symantics .

im just curious

thats all

again thanks.

marty

[tg1911]

AVG or Avast, should handle it, with no problem.

Any good Antivirus will work.

[handplane]

marty,

I have broadband and use AVG.

[martymas]

marty,

I have broadband and use AVG.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

yo team the reason i asked

they have the latest nortons scanner

and watching them i feel nortons is to complicated

some one who knows nothing about compts.

it keeps blocking certain programs and downloads

and they do not know how to unblock them

neither do i

they get conned into accepting nortons at a reduction price

and i found it was only $5, a year savings

so i suggested avg .or avast.

ive used only avg and housecall web scan

in all the years ive had a compt

and apart from a coupla worms

ive been reasonably clean.

ive just has a deal sent to me by my isp

broadband at $39.59

a month

but buy my own modem.$122

and another offer at $59.59 a month

but the modem free to use

but hand it back when ive finished with it

at the momen im happy with dial up

but looking to the future

broadband is an option when longhorn comes on stream.

Hi Marty,

I have to agree with you on both points--antivirus and broadband.

In 2000, when we got our first computer, it had Mcafee antivirus installed. Everyone said Norton was far superior--and I was going to switch--then a friend showed me his Norton program on his computer. Was Norton ever complicated!!! I suppose I could use it with no problem now, but to a beginner, Norton was scary!

If you're satisified with dialup internet, wait for broadband until they offer better deals! In the States, there are deals where you can get a free modem if you sign up for broadband at certain Tech Supply stores.

Our cable company started offering broadband about 3 years ago. They offer 3 different speeds, we have the lowest speed (which is plenty fast!) at $39.99 month. Now the cable company is advertising the highest speed broadband for $19.99 month for 6 months (new customers only, we can't get the deal).

The longer an area has broadband, the harder it will be to find new customers, so they start offering bargains! Play the waiting game and wait for the deals to come to your area.

thanks for that liz.

the isp i use, ive been with for 4 years

and they

informs me of the deals.

and

they have to deal with the the

company that allots the bandwidth

which they get under contract.

after reading your post

it looks as tho the cost is universal

and i agree as

less people use the service

the cost comes down .

this has been the lowest ever

but like you im using the waiting game .

the trouble in my country

there isnt enough competetion

it revolves around 4- companys

and these companys vie for the contract.

to deliver the service .

it wouldnt be viable for any bizness to come into the market

right now

becuase as we only have 4 million people

to many would deplete

profits

tho our gov

is for broadband

im not sure how they can get round this problem
