Charter POP incoming and outgoing email server

I use the internet connection from Charter Communications. Can I download emails from the free email account to my computer and if so how? The support tells me to use the Charter POP incoming and outgoing server which sounds like an alien language to me.
Cherry Jakob

There are two ways to use your free Charter.net email account. You can either employ a web browser and load the account via the webmail interface (read Charter email login for details) or get your hands dirty with an email client which is just a fancy term for an email program. All such programs including, the popular Outlook Express and the new Windows Live Mail (on Windows 7), require you to supply the incoming and outgoing email server in addition to the email address, the username and the password. Confused? Don’t fret because it’s not that difficult – most things are intimidating when you attempt them for the first time.

Cannot login to email? Check this out

It can happen to the best of us. The other day my assistant, who is a “thoroughbred” programmer, comes up enquiring whether things are fine on Hotmail because he just cannot login to his email account. A quick check from my side showed that there was nothing wrong with Hotmail because I could login without problems. My assistant insisted that he was using the correct username (the full Hotmail email address) and password but they were being rejected.

Access Outlook Express email

My desktop’s motherboard fried over the weekend. I just bought a new laptop but would like to get my mail that was on the last computer. I now have Windows Live Mail and need to know if I can access Outlook Express email that were on my old computer.
Michele

There is some good news and some great news! Firstly, thank you lucky stars that it was the motherboard and not the hard disk that ‘fried’. Why? Because this means all you data is still intact. Yes, you won’t be able to access it directly on the new laptop, but rest assured, it’s there.

Emails not downloading in Outlook Express

My emails are not downloading in Outlook Express. I can see the bar move forward but nothing is loaded in the inbox. The emails are there when I check via webmail but nothing seems to download. This is driving me crazy and any help will be greatly appreciated.
Gareth Morgan

There can be several reasons why Outlook Express is not downloading emails to your computer. To properly troubleshoot the problem let us understand how this email client works. Outlook Express first connects to the server using an email protocol (such as POP3). It scans the messages in the account to process any ‘message rules’ (more on these later). Emails are then downloaded one by one and are made to pass through additional message rules (if created), anti-spam filters (if installed), and / or firewall. Finally, the messages are stored on the hard disk at the specified location (if sufficient space is available).

Incredimail – set up Sky email address

I want to use Incredimail and Sky email. Do I have to install Outlook Express? Is it possible to set up Sky email on Incredimail instead?
Terence Milligan

Incredimail and Outlook Express are email programs that download and store messages on your computer; you can also compose and send emails from these programs. Another big advantage of using email programs is having messages available even without an internet connection which means you can take your laptop on a flight, for instance, and still be able to check all old emails. On this page I shall detail how to set up the Sky email address on Incredimail program.

And no, you don’t need Outlook Express if you are happy with Incredimail – the two programs have the same functionality.

Can I keep my email address if I change to Gmail?

Can I keep my email address that I have had for years if I were to change to Gmail from my present service provider?
Brenda

Brenda, you write to me from a Road Runner address, so I assume they are your present email service providers. Now if you were to get a Gmail email address, nothing will happen to the present one and you can continue using it. Thus, you can keep the email address from Road Runner as long as you do not cancel their subscription.

Make default email address

I just bought a new computer and am beginning to regret the decision. I cannot send an email because it keeps saying ‘default email not installed’. I can’t figure out how to do this. I have this problem only on the new Windows computer and not the old one. What is the solution?
Jacqueline Martin

Generally, the ‘default email not installed’ pops up on new computers because an email account hasn’t been set up. The requirement for having a default email account comes when you click an email link on a web page and are displayed this message. (For those who want to know more, a link to an email address can be created from a web page with the HTML mailto attribute). The question most people should ask is whether they can make default email from their existing accounts. This is what will be dealt with on this page.

Most popular free Windows email

I was thinking of creating a second email account – I already have one from my Road Runner. So I was wondering if you can give me the details of the most popular free Windows email service. Could you also help me create a free email address on this new computer.
Madison Norman

Picking up the most popular email service in the world was easy for me. I create a poll through Polldaddy.com and ran it for a few months on this web site. The response was overwhelming -more than 20,000 votes were registered. The result of this public poll, which also allowed voters to post their comments, was not in tune with what I thought, but that’s what makes us human – we all have our opinions – strong ones I may add!

How to stop someone’s emails

I want to block someone from sending me emails….NOT JUST GOING TO THE DELETE BOX !! I DONT WANT TO SEE THIS INDIVIDUAL’S E-MAIL ANYWHERE IN MY ACCOUNT!!! This should not be rocket science!!!!! Surely, I don’t have to call this person and have a confrontation… Please send me a reasonable solution to this problem because I think I would not be the only one looking out for an answer. Thank you.

Sandra is looking for a solution to stop someone’s email from reaching her account. She is probably very frustrated with the messages she gets from this vile individual and, I suppose, wants to get rid of them automatically. Is it possible? Yes, but would require to change a few settings.

Two Gmail accounts

Is it possible to work with more than one Gmail account on one computer? I have one and have just created another for my wife. Can we use the two Gmail addresses from our home computer?
Babilas Lungu

Gmail is a popular web-based email service from the Google. Though a late starter, the company was able to capitalize on its reputation in the search engine market and quickly snatched a lot of subscribers from the main competitors – Yahoo!Mail and Hotmail – by offering 1GB storage space and many excellent features. You can quickly create a free Gmail account by filling out a simple online form which gives you an email address immediately – the Gmail account is ready to use once the form has been submitted successfully. I know many people who hold multiple Gmail addresses – typically, one is for personal correspondence and the others for business. So can you use two Gmail accounts from the same computer? Yes! And here is what you should know.
