i'm trying to use outlook express to send a message, and it's asking me who is my incoming mail server, and my outgoing mail server. how do i find this out, also, does OE have stationary backrounds like incredimail, and where do i get them?

Go to

http://www.google.com

in the search bar type Outlook Express and (your ISP)example Yahoo or Hotmail

Then look for a link that will give you instructions on hot to setup Outlook Express and your ISP

Some ISP's don't allow you to use this function unless you pay for it.

As for the backgrounds, open an email, click on format, click on background, and you can add a color background, a picture background, and even sound. If you see a background you like, just save it to that folder so you can use it when you want to.

Hope this helps, and try to stay away from Incredimail
