I'm having trouble sending and receiving e-mails. Do I need to do something
before I can send or receive?
Yes; install and configure your EMail program correctly.
For help in doing so, please scroll down the list of newsgroups on the
Microsoft webpage and find a newsgroup for your particular program -
Outlook or Outlook Express (under the Internet Explorer subjects).
This newsgroup is for a different program, Microsoft Access, a
database application.
