The BT response ' go to pc manu' is cobblers and typical of some one who
does'nt know.
OL uses the same settings as OE (smtp etc)

If mail is working in OE, with OE closed open OL and import mail settings
and use test facilities of OL, accessed via Control Panel, Mail Applet to
test the settings.

If you still have a problem, post back, include your version of OL and any
err.msgs

According to btinternet, BT does not support outlook express. You have to
go
to your computer manufacturer to set it up. But this costs. As I am
broke
but having the same trouble as Peter, does anyone else know the answer?

I am currently using Outlook Express with my btinternet pop3 account.
Both
SMTP and pop3 accounts have the same address mail.btinternet.com. This
works
with Outlook Express, but when I use the same settings fo Outlook I
cannot
gain access.

Please advise. Many thanks.
