Problems setting up Outlook Express on Windows 98

[deonnanicole]

I am trying to set up my Cox email account through my Outlook Express, but so far I haven't been able to get it to work. I go through and set it up and put in the host server names as told, but when I'm done, and I try to check my email for the first time, I get two messages. The first says that the host smpt.east.cox.net could not be found, and to verify that I have entered the server name correctly. The second says the same about POP3...that it could not be found, etc. I put in the server names that it said to on the cox website, and followed the instructions, but it just doesn't want to work. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks. :)

Those servers do exist- are you sure you're entering the names correctly? In your post you did mis-spell "smtp"; make sure you haven't done that in your server setup as well.
