Do you have to use outlook express for email in window xp?

Hi,

There are two parts of your question. One is you are facing problem in connecting your outlook express. Second is that you don't want to use an email client. Rather than you want to use online emails like Gmail, yahoo.

* First of all this issue is due to wrong settings in ms outlook express. Take all settings from your email provider and internet service provider. Put garbage in will always gives garbage out. So enter correct settings and will definitely work. Once you have entered corrected setting you will not think of the second part of your question. But I will still answer the second part.

* So far Gmail, yahoo and other email options are concerned they made to work online. For example you don't want to switch you internet on, or you are not on the internet, or suppose that the internet is not there for an hour. Now you can never login to your online emails but in case of outlook or other Email clients you can see all your emails there on your PC. You can even answer any email; add an attachment to that email while you are offline. Once you are connected to the internet, you just have to press send and receive. All your work is done without any hassle.

That's why people are using Email clients. So using email clients to fetch your emails to your pc is better.

Personally, I no longer use Microsoft Office Outlook. I also haven’t tried using Outlook Express either. To use any of these two email clients, you need to create an account. When creating an account, you need a working email address, its password, and the IMAP or POP3 settings from your webmail service.

The “ID” refers to your email address and the password is the password you use to log in to your email account. Whether you want to setup a POP3 account or an IMAP account, you need to get the incoming and outgoing servers from your webmail service. An example of an incoming server is without quotes “imap.gmx.com” while for outgoing server is “mail.gmx.com”.

Aside from that, you also need to get the correct port number for each server and their respective connection security setting like “SSL/TLS”, for example. If you are having problems using Outlook Express, try using Mozilla Thunderbird instead.
