Hello,
I'm having trouble with designating Outlook Express as my default email program. When I go to Tools>Internet Options>Programs Tab, under Email, I am only given the option of choosing Microsoft Outlook, nothing else. I use Outlook Express as my main mail program, I never use Outlook. I have also attempted to make Outlook Express my default email program by clicking Tools>Options>General Tab and then clicking "Make Default" while in Outlook Express, but it doesn't stick. Even when I click "apply," or "ok," it doesn't carry through.
Also, when connecting to one's ISP for the purpose of accessing one's email, does one check "use my phone line" or "use internet explorer or third party dialer?" I use a modem 56K from home, by the way. One thing that seems to happen is that I get connected using a "local host" (I'm assuming this is a LAN), even when I have NOT checked this option. I've gone back to change this several times, typing my pop3 incoming mail server, but something changes it to "local host."
Please help, I'm at my wits' end!
Thank you.
