POP3 is not a valid server name, even though it is a valid protocol. Ask
your
email provider for their instructions for setting up to use their email
servers,
which should include the correct server names. If they haven't written
instructions for Windows Mail yet, their instructions for Outlook Express
should also work under Windows Mail as long as they don't call for the HTTP
protocol. The instructions are probably somewhere on their web site. Or,
you could tell us who your email provider is (usually the part of your email
address after the @) and see if anyone here already knows where to find
their instructions.

Sorry, I don't know. You might get a faster answer if you ask in newsgroup:
