Neither STMP nor POP3 is a valid server name. They're OK as the
protocols for the two directions, though. Ask your email provider
(who is probably also your internet provider) for their instructions
for setting up to use their email servers. If they haven't written
instructions for Windows Mail yet, use their instructions for Outlook
Express but under Windows Mail instead. The instructions are
probably somewhere on their web site. Or, you could tell us who
your email provider is and see if anyone here already knows where
to find the instructions.
