Can somebody help me set up my Microsoft Outlook e-mail account?

Question

Maybe it's just my computer savvyless mind that just can't understand simple instructions or the instructions themselves are made to be undecepherable.....

Can someone with a heart give me instructions on the POP server or whatever the hell these things are, to make my life liveable again? I have Charter high speed internet and a regular computer. Bless you kind people!

Answer 1

Open Microsoft Outlook and select Tools from the top toolbar.
Then select Accounts to setup your email using the following:

Fill in the account properties:
--In the Mail Account window, type "Charter E-Mail."
--Enter your name in the Name field.
--Enter your E-Mail Address in the E-Mail Address field.
--Click on the Servers tab at the top of the screen.

Fill in the fields on the Servers tab.
--For the "Incoming Mail [POP3] use pop.charter.net.
--For the "Outgoing Mail [SMTP] use smtp.charter.net.
--Enter your E-Mail username (everything before the @ symbol) in the Account Name field.
--Enter your password in the Password field.
--Do NOT check "Log on using Secure Password Authentication" or "My Server Requires Authentication."
--Click on the Connection tab at the top of the screen.

Choose "Connect using my local area network (LAN)," then click the Advanced tab and verify the settings are as shown.
