[Ed]

I am at a computer at work with Outlook Express already set up to read news.
I ma trying to set up OE the same way on a new computer, but can't find all
the answers the wizard wants. I should be able to find all the settings on
this one and just duplicate them on the other one, right? But I'm stuck on
"Incoming and Outgoing mail server" info. Can someone drop-kick me in the
right direction, please?

Thank you.

Your ISP has that information.

Thank you, Bruce. That did the trick.

The incoming mail server would look something like this:
"mail.domain.com", or "pop3.domain.com", or "mail.domain.net".
The outgoing mail server would look something like this:
"smtp.domain.com" or "mail.domain.com" or "smtp" with "domain.net"

Just try "mail" before the name of your email domain string.
For example "mail" + "yahoo.com" (the name of my email domain). Yours
might be "sbc.com" if southern bell is your ISP, or "earthlink.net" if
Earthlink is your ISP. Don't forget to put a period after "mail" or
"smtp" or "pop3". Also, don't use spaces. They are unacceptable.

You will probably also have to enter the username and the password you
use to access your email.

He is wanting to do NEWS and unless he has the same provider at home
as he has at work, it ain't going to happen without the path from the
home provider. That should be available from the provider's website IF
they support NEWS.

I think? He said:
"I am at a computer at work with Outlook Express already set up to read
*news*".

But - I may be wrong? :-)
