Outlook Express Account Recovery

[cc]

I previously had an Earthlink account. Recently, I signed
up for SBC Yahoo! DSL. This new account assigned me a new
mailbox I.D., which I never use. I had no problem going to
Outlook to check my mail, but when I tried to send, a
window kept asking for my SBC Yahoo password (note: my
Outlook mailbox still had an earthlink address). I went to
the new account and entered a new identity (same as my
earthlink one). My new Outlook Express (version 6) has no
mail or files in it & I cannot seem to retrieve any files
that were in my old Outlook Express, including the address
book. I'm not sure why this happened, but is there any way
to recover the old account information?

I went thru exactly the same situation, moving from Earthlink to SBC, but
retaining my earthlink email. Call earthlink tech support. They gave me a
special pop server name to enter into my outlook, and it works like a charm.
HTH&GL!
