This is strictly from memory but it sounds like you installed OL97 in CORPORATE EMAIL mode. Uninstall it and reinstall it but you want INTERNET MODE.
Then you can enter the email settings your ISP offered.

Trying to open Outlook97 to access my internet mail brings up a fame that asks for: "PostOffice", "Mailbox", and "Password". I am at a loss in what to enter for "Postoffice" I tried the ISP provider logon address but it just doesn't work. I asked for help from Verizon Fios but they could not help either. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
