Not sure if this is were this goes, but anyhow, I am trying to get my lap top to sign on to my email account (out look express) that I use on my pc. Both use xp home for os. I put in all the info, account name, password, etc. I keep getting an error message ,password rejected,bad password. What can I do to be able to check my email with my lap top? I connect wireless. Thanks for any help.

The obvious question is .. are you obviously certain that your settings are correct. For good measure create another account and re-enter all the information again .. that would at least help weed out an error. If it doesn't work use OE to export your account information and then import it into your laptop. Keep in mind that the password will need to be re-entered . .but at least u can be sure that the rest of the settings will work.
To export account:
OE > Tools > Accounts > Mail tab: Select the account you want to export and click the Export button. Save the .iaf file to a USB key or something.
Repeat the same and click the Import button to import from the .iaf file.
