problems forwarding with OUTLOOK EXPRESS

Question

hi i used to have two email accounts, one with hotmail and one with outlook express when my ISP was Onetel. Since changing our ISP from Onetel to British Telecom I can still use  hotmail ok for sending and receiving emails, but if i want to forward an internet page or link it seems that the computer is set up to do this via outlook express, and that no longer works because the email address i had with them, via Onetel, no longer applies.   So I would like to change the set up of Outlook Express so that i can forward stuff from the net, as well as maybe (though this is less important) having a second email address.   i simply don't have a clue how to do it.... would appreciate any advice, thanks vivienne

It sounds like you need to delete the old ISP in the 'Account' setup and also setup a new Account for the new ISP (BT).  The BT support site should have all the info needed to setup your Outlook Express Account (or at least most ISP's have this info available on line).

brilliant, at last i can reply-- when i tried many times before, for some reason the cursor just wouldn't appear in message body so i couldn't type a reply.... so i tried sending a private message direct to you--don't know if i did that ok..

ANYWAY, many many thanks for your advice--- it took a while ,but now am up and running with Outllook express so can forward links to other email users, which is great.

Thanks, vivienne
