Email servers

When setting up email, I need to enter the names of the outgoing and incoming mail servers. What are they?

Hi Leona:
It's usually some format like:
mail.msn.com. The program USUALLY automatically selects POP3 for incoming and SMTP for outgoing. But you may have to do that yourself, i.e. POP3.mail.msn.com or SMTP.mail.earthlink.net Anyway, give it a try and see which one works.
Hope it helps.

I am brand new to this and used this prior thread to ask my question as it was along the same lines...when I travel from i.e. hotel to airport, etc. and the hosts change from hypothetically Cisco to MSN to Wayport, etc...how and where do I find their "outgoing server" so I can change my configuration and send outgoing e-mails?   I usually guess with STMP, mail., etc but isn't there somewhere I can easily look this up?   My incoming mail always remains the same, however i just don't know where to look for this outgoing server information per each host?  Thank you very much in advance for your replies.

Yes, Art Lady is right. POP3 is for incoming and Use free smtp server for outgoing.
