how do i set my internet so my emails go through outlook instead of just my server. I 'm on Tiscali broadband if that helps. i did try & set it up to no avail, but i was probably doing something wrong. :sick:

Um...they must go through Outlook if thats what you use to read them and they must first come from your server. You'll need to be a little clearer in what you mean :confused:

And its not your Internet. Its mine :)

Although David James does own all the porn web sites:)

...and thats why he's a billionaire :(

ok, at the moment i log onto tiscali & pick up my mail there, but i want to open outlook & see them all listed there instead.
does that make sense. no good at IT lingo i'm afraid. :confused:

it might be your internet but it's my computer :grin:

aha you just need to

add a new account like this... (http://www.hostmysite.com/support/email/outlook/)

and use these server names when it asks

incoming email (POP3) pop.tiscali.co.uk
outgoing email (SMTP) smtp.tiscali.co.uk

guess i'll have to wait till tomorrow & see where my emails go??

Tiscali had a page to set outlook up & i tried it but to no avail, had a couple of goes tonight but have no idea if it works, yet.

thank you for your help, i'll make a note of those help pages & have another go tomorrow.

Thank you :clap: :cheers: :flower: :kiss: :hug:
