What are Incoming and Outgoing Servers for Using MS Outlook?

AI Thread Summary
To use MS Outlook for sending emails, you need to configure the incoming and outgoing mail servers. The incoming server is typically a POP3 server, while the outgoing server is an SMTP server, both assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). You will also require a login name and password provided by your ISP. To obtain this information, you can either contact your ISP directly or check their website, where they often list the necessary POP3 and SMTP server addresses. The server format will usually be a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) like mail.yourisp.com or an IP address.

I would like to use MS Outlook to send emails but it asks me to enter incoming and outcoming servers which I actually have no ideas about. Would you please tell me what they are ? How can I use Ootlook to write and send mails to my friends ?

Thank you,

Incoming server will be your POP3 (Post Office Protocol) server assigned by your ISP and outgoing will be your SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) assigned by your ISP.

You will also need a logon name and pass… again assigned by your ISP.

Call them and ask for those 4 things and you will be set. Or hit their website. Most of the time ISPs will list their POP3 and SMTP server addresses on their web site.

The format you are looking for will either be an FQDN (mail.yourisp.com) or an IP address (24.108.182.55 for example)

This is what you type

Incoming: mail.yourISPname.net
Outgoing: mail.yourISPname.net
 
Thank you , I see it now...:sm:

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...

Thread 'MS 365 Profile Badge colour'

Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
