just got broadband,help with outlook express

[leadan]

I've got my pipex broadband working today but wanted to know if i can still use my old email accounts through outlook express.
1 is a freeserve one and the other a tesco email address,is it possible to change the pop/mail server in order to still use these accounts.

thanks

Yes is the answer to that. :)

As long as you keep using the email a/c's they will remain active.

I want to be able to use them while i'm connected to pipex,i mean can i use the freeserve & tesco one without connecting to the freeserve & tesco isp.

When i changed from freeserve to tesco i was still able to use the freeserve account when connected to tesco because i changed the pop/mail server to tesco.
If its possible what do i need to type in the pop/mail server box for pipex.

thanks

No you wont ... you will need to be connected them to do that.

You may be able to retrieve emails, but you wont be able to send any.

I've got it sorted now,i've changed the outgoing mail (SMTP) to smtp.dsl.pipex.com and it seems to working fine now .
I'll just have to remember to connect to freeserve and tesco now and then to keep the account active.
