Ok, I've tried unsucessfully a million times to link outlook to my email
account. I've tried with my hotmail account and now I am trying with my cox
address and I obviously don't know what I'm doing. can someone please put me
out of my misery?!
Call tech support at Cox. You're paying them so support is included.
They'll know what to do. Even if all they support is Outlook Express,
the setup is very similar for Outlook. Get that working before tackling
Hotmail (since you never mentioned whether using POP access or trying to
get the Outlook Connector to work for Hotmail).
--- Posting Hints ---
ALWAYS REVIEW your message before submitting it. You want someone OTHER
than yourself to understand your post. Also remember that no one here
is looking over your shoulder to see at what you are pointing. If you
don't well explain your situation by providing the details that you
already know, don't expect others to know what is your situation.
Explain YOUR computing environment and just what actions you take to
reproduce the problem.
Often you get just one chance per potential respondent to elicit a reply
from them. If they skip your post because you gave them nothing to go
on (no details, no versions, no OS, no context) then they will usually
move on to the next post and never return to yours.

When using a webnews-for-dummies interface, like Microsoft's Communities
or Google Groups or a forum-to-Usenet proxy, those are gateways to
Usenet. Despite the appearance of a forum, you are participating in a
newsgroup (Usenet).
