Does OE work with e-mail accounts other than MSN or hotmail?

[Matt]

My e-mail is at excite.com Can I use Outlook Express to send and receive
e-mail? I've already tried setting it up but receive error messages
containing numbers, no possible causes or solutions.

Check the excite web page to see if there are instructions there.

This may work with the free Excite mail:
Lua FreePOPs for Web base mail sites

Outlook Express *is* a mail client. MSN, MSN Hotmail, Yahoo!, Netscape,
GMail, Excite, and others, are Web Mail services.

MS Outlook Express will work with an mail service which offers a compatible
mail protocol. Some will require you to pay a fee; Excite is among those.
Like Yahoo! and MSN Hotmail, Excite will cost you $19.95 per year. You will
get 2GB of mail storage, and access to their SMTP and POP3 serves using MS
Outlook Express.

You may find a web-to-POP proxy, as Michael Santovec has suggested, but
those are dependent upon the mail service making no changes in the way
their web interface works. A web-to-POP proxy is a pseudo-browser, and,
usually, somewhat limited in how it can handle the mail fetch from a web
mail site.
