Why isn't my outlook express working?

Although I don't have any answers to this problem, I can tell you it is common. Me and my entire family have the same exact problem. I just finally stopped using outlook all together and now I use the Emails site like Yahoo! or gmail.

I'm sorry I couldn't help

Open Outlook Express. Go to Tools --> Email Accounts to open it.

Click the Mail tab, the Mail Accounts window appears

Click the account you just created, then click the Properties button

Click the Servers tab

Check the box beside My server requires authentication, then click the Settings button

Select Use same settings as my incoming mail server and click OK

Click Apply, then OK to close the properties window. The Internet Accounts window will reappear.

Click OK to exit the Internet Accounts window, your E-mail set-up is complete.
