Larry: Are you sure that the question about the E-Mail server is from the web? or a system message asking you to set up a default e-mail on your system? If you use web-based e-mail you do not have to have a e-mail program on your computer since you interface directly through the webmail. As far as I know you need to configure an e-mail program to send through a SMTP or Receive via POP servers. In windows this would be Outlook or Outlook Express.
