Setting Up Outlook Express on a new PC
Trying to re attach to my email account on a new pc. When setting up the account I am asked for the incoming name ( which i know ) and then outgoing SMPT name .
How do i find out what my outgoing name ( SMPT ) is? I still have my old pc so i can look on there . Just not sure where to look!
I would appreciate any help

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.If you go on your old pc, click Tools> Options then Accounts. When that opens, select the account your after then click properties. It should be in there somewhere I think. I might be wrong, but Im sure that's where you can find it.
If not, it will be on your ISP letter that you received when you first got your internet installed. Which ISP are you with? Im with ntl and I know mine in smtp.ntlworld.com so it could be a case of simply changing the ISP name of the one posted above? I not, ring your ISP and find out :)
I've had a lot of trouble with Outlook Express myself. It's certainly not the easiest system there ever was!!!
I've had it for over a year and still can't manage to use it. If it pops up for you to send an email on certain sites, I just copy the address of where it's going and paste it into my ISP email account. It's a lot easier that way!
