We have no idea who your ISP is or their directions for setting up their
email. Contact your ISP for better directions or use their help files.

Connie, it looks like you ISP is Comcast if you posted this from the

(The not is a deliberate misspelling so the address as shown here is no use
to spammers - it should of course be .net)

Your password may be the same as the log on password if you previously were
given details, or it may be different, your docs should tell you that.
