windows mail

Hello community,

What email server do I use when setting up my windows mail account. I tried
using the POP3 but then every time I send mesages it comes up as error.

You have to get the name of your ISP's mail server from your ISP (!)
Go to their Website and they should have instructions for setting up an
email account.

Or, you could tell us who your internet provider is and see if anyone
here already knows where to find the instructions, which should
include the proper server names.
