To set up outlook express, you need to collect some information first. You usually get this information from you ISP (internet service provider). However, if for some reason you can't contact them, put your email address under additional information, I will look it up. Use the form dreamingkat at gmail dot com just in case someone is trying to harvest email addy's from the site (which I think is unlikely, but it never hurts to be cautious).
Information you will need:
* POP server. this is either an ip address (like 216.48.29.167) or a name (like mail.earthlink.net)
* SMTP server. Again, this will either be an ip address or a name
* your email address
* the password for your account. (note: I won't be able to help you get your password, you've gotta find that yourself)
Once you have that information, it's pretty straight forward. Open outlook express. Go to Tools -> Accounts. A little window opens. If no one else is using your computer, delete all the accounts already listed (click on it to select, then click the delete button). Then click on the New Account button. Fill in the blanks. If you are confused and don't know what to put in the boxes, either add info to this question, or ask me a question in my inbox.
Some of the buttons might have changed names slightly. It's been about 4 years since I worked dial up tech support, and I did this from memory. If your still having problems, I'll look up the newest version and walk you through it. Just ask. :)

What is your email provider? Check on its site to see what the POP and SMTP server is, then follow the wizard in Outlook Express...
