Rich,
I thought you said before that you were using ATT. Each domain of ATT has
different settings for your pop3 and smtp server. If you do a Google search
for Bellsouth.net and "Outlook Express", you would find the page from
Bellsouth where you can see how to set up each email program.\
I'm surprised, frankly, this page that I'm copying below doesn't reference
using SSL or anything. I chedcked the bottom of the page and it said
copyright 2011.
1. Open Outlook Express.
2. Click on Set up a Mail account...
bellsouth/cs.main.email.outlookexpress.01-01
3. Click the button next to Create a new Internet mail account.
4. Click Next.
bellsouth/cs.main.email.outlookexpress.01-02
5. Enter your name as you would like for it to appear in the From field of
outgoing messages.
6. Click Next.
bellsouth/cs.main.email.outlookexpress.01-03
7. Click the button next to I already have an e-mail address that I'd like
to use.
8. Enter your complete e-mail address.
9. Click Next.
bellsouth/cs.main.email.outlookexpress.01-04
10. Select POP3 from the drop down box.
11. In the Incoming mail server enter mail.bellsouth.net.
12. In the Outgoing mail server enter mail.bellsouth.net.
13. Click Next.
bellsouth/cs.main.email.outlookexpress.01-05
14. Enter your account name.
Hint: It is the letters, characters, and numbers to the left of the @ sign
in your e-mail address.
15. Enter your e-mail password. You will not see your password. Asterisks
(*) will appear for each character entered.
16. Make sure the Logon using Secure Password Authentication is NOT
selected.
17. Click Next.
bellsouth/cs.main.email.outlookexpress.01-06
18. Click Finish. You are now ready to send and receive e-mail messages.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] ATT and uverse and O E
I am still trying all suggestions.
My original settings with DSL for my server is mail.bellsouth.net and I am
still able to receive messages. but Can not receive.
When I alter the server name to mail.att.net or, att.net, or att.yahoo.com
or mail.att.yahoo.com.
I am neither able to receive or send messages.
Checking or unchecking SSL has no effect on my problem.
What are any thoughts of just upgrading to outlook?
What would I have to do to accomplish this i.e. uninstall OE.
My fear is losing much of my information.
Thanks
Rich
