I use Outlook Express for my mails. When I changed ISP my old mails remained in my Outlook setup

Incidentally this is only for AOL users.

Thanks Errol.........................I will:))

Let me know when you change ISPs because you will need to alter the settings.

I did Errol and it got there:))

I can't wait to tell my son-in-law I did it myself........................with a load of help of course, but he won't know that! LOL

xx

I take it that it's working ok then?
Have you tried composing a new email and sending it? Try sending one to yourself to test it

I did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

Thanks Errol....................and Daff and Deanna for waiting with me:)))))))))))))))

xx

I'm sure you'll find someone, Deanna lol

It wasn't a hissy leaving... lol........ but the possibility is there... so now, am I allowed to use these *waves hammer, glue, nails, rope, gaffer tape and various stuff* to keep him here??

:¬))

Daff xxxx

Just stay, you could sit in the background and wait for your bleeper to bleep!!

It must be better than using the service provider.................thanks again.

LOL Daff................super glue would be less painful:)))

*digs out hammer and very large nails so we can pin Errol's feet to GR's floor, lol!! ;¬))

No worries.
By doing this you will now use OE to receive and send emails - it's really easy to use.

Errol..........................I think I love you:)))))) LOL

I've printed out your instructions and will have a go after tea.

Thanks a million for your kindness and time xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You should now be back at the Internet Accounts dialogue box. If not select Accounts from the Tools menu again.
Click the Mail tab.
On the Mail tab select the AOL account that you just added in the steps above.
Click Properties.
Click the Servers tab and put a tick next tick next to "My server requires authentication".
Click on Apply.
Click the Advanced tab.
In the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) box, type 587.
Click Apply.
Click the IMAP tab.
remove the tick next to "Store special folders on IMAP server" and click Apply.
Click OK.
Click Apply and OK.
Click Close.
You may be asked if you want to download folders from the mail server you added - click Yes?


That should do it - you can now use OE to download e-mails to your computer and also to send them.
You will need to change the settings if you want to use it for e-mail when you change ISP.

I think I might have wounded them...........they are stuck:((

Errol can't possibly ever leave GR.............what would we do without him??
