    I have MS Outlook on my Notebook but have never used it. How does it work, do I have to subscribe to it, or is it free?

    I use Outlook at work as my work e-mail, but have never used it for personal e-mail.

    Thanks!

    Hi there, you need to configure your Outlook at home with your ISP's POP3 & SMTP addresses for Outlook to run off your internet email (provided they have it, usually it can be found on their email site after you login, then look for "help" tab someplace). Cheers!

    I just found out that both Yahoo and Hotmail require paid subscriptions in order to sync with Outlook!!

    Definetly agree on getting your mail through the webmail. Then if you get a virus emailed to you, it is on their computer not yours.
