Get my email account to work

[Guest_imported]

I am having trouble trying to set up my email account.
I havent a clue how to get this running.
I can tell you that sending mail isn;t a problem but receiving it is.
any suggestions to help my little problem?

Goodness, this is a bit vague. Are you in a company? Are you at home using an ISP? What Mail Client are you using?

Assuming youre at home, you need to have a few things:
1. email address
2. smtp server name
3. pop3 server name
4. userid and password

Your email program should have a setup/options/preferences/accounts area where you put this information in and apply it. There will be spots to put each of these pieces of information. Note: sometimes your userid and the portion of the email address before the @ sign are often the same, so don't get them confused. You may have to contact your isp for some of this information.
