Thank you for trying to help.
The problem with my e mail is that I'm not able to configure it correctly. I followed the instructions on the Angelfire website, but no luck.
I'm using Outlook Express and here is what I'm doing:
TOOLS, ACCOUNTS, ADD, MAIL
Display Name: Amy
E mail address: amy@acwinston.com (my new domain)
Incoming Mail Server is a: POP3
Incoming Mail Server: pop.domains.lycos.com (as instructed by Angelfire)
Outgoing mail server: mail.socket.net (Angelfire said to contact my ISP for this?) I have also tried: mail.domains.lycos.com, smtp.domains.lycos.com, and a few others trying to figure it out.
Account Name: Amy (I have also tried: amy@acwinston.com, ab/acwinston, acwinston.com, and a few others).
My password: I'm sure it's correct.
I do not check Log On to SPA
And then I click Finish. That's it. When I tried to send/receive mail with amy@acwinston.com I get a pop up asking me to please enter my user name and password for the following server: pop.domains.lycos.com
If I hit ok, it keeps popping up. If I hit cancel, I get error messages from outlook express:
* There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was rejected. Account: 'pop.domains.lycos.com', Server: 'pop.domains.lycos.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR authorization failed', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92
* There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was rejected. Account: 'pop.domains.lycos.com', Server: 'pop.domains.lycos.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR authorization failed', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92
Again, I'm sure my password is correct.
I tried the mail forwarding just to see what would happen, and it does work. Mail sent to amy@acwinston.com will forward to my current e mail address and show up in my Outlook Express. HOWEVER, it takes several hours to show up.
I even tried setting up an IMAP account, but when it went to configure the folders, it said that the server failed.
I'm sure it's just something I'm doing wrong... one little thing I'm not getting right.
Thank you for your help! I really do appreciate it.
Take Care,
Amy
