How do I set up outlook express?

[Felldoh]

I want to use outlook express to check my email, but when the wizard comes up to help me set everything up I don't know what it's talking about! Can someone explain every step to me? Right now I'm stuck on the part where it asks you to enter your incoming and outcoming mail server. Can anyone help? thanks in advance!

do u know the outgoing and incoming adresses? U need to get them from your e-mail providers' website.

well.....let's start off with this...\
What email account are you trying to setup in outlook express?

BTW, Incredimail automatically detects these adresses.

I'm using my email account from gmail

gmail will not work with outlook express directly. I've successfully set it up, but you need an additional application to run in the background. And there is ONLY one....right now. It's called "Pop goes the gmail"
lol

Or, google just developed a gmail notification app
Gmail Notifier

k I got pop goes the gmail to work, but what am I supposed to do with it?

Setup POP goes the gmail and then setup a new account for outlook express. The new account POP3 address should be "localhost" and the SMTP outgoing address sould be "localhost"
