No and no.
What exactly do you mean by "you need to set the computer up for your
usage"? Please be very descriptive and basic--I'm no computer whiz!

are you using the same ISP that the original owner used.

if NO to either/both you need to set the computer up for your usage.

I can't send e-mail attachments of any kind/size and only the occasional sent
e-mail actually makes it to its destination. Most ougoing mail gets stuck in
the Outbox then after a minute a pop up window says: "Your SMTP server has
not responded in 60 seconds. Would you like to wait another 60 seconds for
the server to respond." If I click "Yes" this same message comes back up.
Incoming messages are received. I have Windows XP. I think that I have
Outlook Express version 6, but I'm not totally sure (I just inherited this
computer), nor do I know how to find that out using the computer. I contacted
my ISP and they said everything checked out on their end, and we double
checked the settings on my computer. They said it has to be the Outlook
Express program. Any ideas?
