Answer 1

It depends does your provider offer a pop3 account? If so .. you need to look up what server they use for emails .. and paste it in .. its not that hard really .. I personally like using thunderbird more its simpler and free and easy ... about the comment above me .. SOME people do like their emails to be read off the bat instead of going to an http site .. this way you have better control/ NO advertisments/ No spam if you have a good anti-spam software .. and unlimited space for emails. If you try it once youll never go back to stupid hhtp online accounts.

Answer 2

Do you have Outlook 2003 or 2007?

What email are you using? It's much easier to just go to yahoo.com or gmail.com or wherever your address is. I have found Outlook to be pretty much useless.
