Default Outlook Express and Web based e-mail accounts

Hmm (http://setup.orange.co.uk/FAQ/default.html) but then IANAGU (I am not a GPRS user).

But not being an Orange subscriber either (http://web.o2.ie/personal/help/conne...t/outlook.jsp), I could not say
what the names of the servers would be. Other POP3 accounts can be added so one would assume the details for Orange are accessible
from the Orange handset.

BTW, the above link is *not* navigable via the provider's website (Google to the rescue).

RTFM??? Sorry, you've got me there. It's an Orange account because I was
Freeserve and then it became Wanadoo and now it's Orange. I used them because
I thought that my monthly broadband subscription would cover it and I could
just swop accounts over. Apparently you can't but by then I'd set up this new
one - it's free anyway . I've searched their web pages in vain and I know
what you mean about POP3 becuase I found the old Freeserve web page really
helpful. But the Orange one isn't and even though I e-mailed them and asked I
just got a bog standard reply.

Yes. Blindingly obvious you did not RTFM the Help pages of the web-mail service. Try searching them for 'POP3'.

You will be surprised to learn you are not alone.

Web-based will probably be http, not pop.
What company?
