I'm an idiot... in setting up my email settings tonight I was to answer
questions about the servers for incoming and outgoing email. I answered incorrectly and nothing works. I have the correct answers now and need to know where to go to change POP3 and SMTP answers.... Where do I go to change these..?

changing email settings
In Windows Mail, click Tools on the main toolbar and then select Accounts.
In the accounts window click on the name of your email account and then click the Properties button. In your email account properties window, Click the 'server' tab. You can make the changes you require from there. -- -- John Barnett MVP Windows XP Associate Expert Windows Desktop Experience Web: http://www.winuser.co.uk Web: http://www.silversurfer-guide.com Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".

Thanks. But now... I incorrectly identified my server as an IMAP. It turns
out to be a POP3. The dialog box won't allow me to change that... any ideas how I can do that.? "John Barnett MVP" wrote: In Windows Mail, click Tools on the main toolbar and then select Accounts.

Okay so deleting and reconfiguring the mail client might work, but is there a
better solution? I've got thousands of emails and it takes a lot of time to download them all again. "mac" wrote: "tom" wrote in message ... Thanks. But now...

No, don't delete the mail client, just delete that one account in Windows Mail.
If you want to save any emails, bulk-move them to a different mail folder, then move them back once the account is recreated. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "The Big  " The Big Okay so deleting and reconfiguring the mail client might work, but is there a better solution?
