vista-microsoft e-mail-wanadoo?

Question

i have Vista and want to set up a microsoft e-mail account (replacement for outlook express) when i set up the account it asks for the pop3 and smtp, my internet service provider is orange (wanadoo) what do i enter for the pop3 and smtp boxes? also when the account is set up it asks for the username and password, what username and password? the orange (wanadoo) ones or the ones used to set up the microsoft e-mail account?

i wish people would read the question properly, it is VISTA, vista doesn't have outlook or outlook express, it has microsoft mail.

By calling microsoft e-mail account, I assume it meant Window Mail (inbuilt email client for Microsoft Vista)

Hope it was helpful.

I wish people would be more clear with their questions! I gather you mean that you are using "Outlook" rather than OE. If that's the case and you still have OE installed, you can get the settings from OE. If not, look in your "Internet Options". Failing that, your POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3) settings are likely to be - Incoming > mail.wanadoo.com and Outgoing >smtp.wanadoo.com. Your user name and password are the Wanadoo ones. Then again, I'm not that sure because Wanadoo doesn't LOL I'd suggest getting a decent ISP. You pay for what you get. Pay peanuts and get a crap service. Myself, I'm with BT Broadband (basic with no mail accounts) and I pay Yahoo $20 per year for my POP E-Mail. I've used Yahoo since the very beggining (10 years) and BT has never let me down. As for Microsoft, they don't have POP Mail accounts. MSN have online accounts (Hotmail).
