Is this Program any good ive honestly never used it before in my life .. well ive tired i tell a lie ...

How Do it set it up so that I can get my Plusnet (ISP's) account so i get my emails through that aswell ..

Also what about Hotmail ...??

Thanks
 
I've used it and it's alright. I use normal Outlook mainly.

To use your ISP's mail account you need to find out what their servers are. There should be two (an incomming and an outgoing). They may have it listed on their site, or you may have to call them and ask.

As fot hot mail, unless you pay for your account, you don't have server access. So make a new folder in your inbox, right click on it and igo to properties. There will be a blank for "honepage" Put in the hotmail.com address. Then everytime you open that folder it will bring you to your Hotmail inbox.
 
I recommend not using Outlook Express. If you are sent messages that have viruses attached to them, it will automatically open the viruses as it's downloading the message. And as of yet, it has no virus protection built in, so you are effectively really exposing your computer to risks of infection/corruption. I had to reformat my sister's computer because of some of the viruses that she got from using Outlook - not fun. Oh, and btw, it also bypasses any virus scanner that may be active at the time...
