Your ISP should have them somewhere in their help pages.

Is this for a new account or is it an existing one that forgot what it was doing? Is it a single account that you've got, and does anything else work in Outlook?

Give us a few clues. :blush:

e.g who do you think supplies your email service?

What is your email address?

What has been working up to now - how did you use it?

Should just be a case of inding them from your ISP then. Who is your ISP?

As Lurch says the ISP should tell you.

Usually there's a POP3 and SMTP server, which may be the same (or not).

e.g. For Freeserve/wanadoo they're something like:

pop.wanadoo.co.uk

smtp.wandoo.co.uk

Or there may be a common one such as mail.domainname.co.uk

I may be stating the obvious here, but they should have told you that when you signed up. It's a bit fundamental! :smash:

Correct! If you'd have said Tiscali I could have told you that one. ;)

Next....

That's Tiscali for you.

Incoming mail servers are usually down the lines as follows....

POP.ISP NAME HERE.co.uk

or...

POP.ISP NAME HERE.com

POPMAIL.ISP NAME HERE.co.uk

or...

POPMAIL.ISP NAME HERE.com

Outgoing servers are usually as follows....

SMTP.ISP NAME HERE.co.uk

or...

SMTP.ISP NAME HERE.com

Obviously the (.co.uk) or (.com) depends on your ISP's name. The POP servers with my ISP were fazed out and replaced by POPMAIL a couple of years ago but it don't hurt adding both server addresses.
