    OK, so I'm not too computer smart !

    Using Outlook Express for e-mail.
    Have three accounts set up.

    Now, we wish to change the "password" on each of them.

    And I can't seem to find out how.

    What are the steps to do that ?

    Thanks

    Do you mean the password at your ISP used to access your email account? Generally you do this via the ISP email web interface first , then in OE go to the tools/ accounts mail/ the account/ properties/

    Note that if you change it in OE, and not at the ISP you will not be able to get your email (and vice versa)

    Dear OSHWYN5:

    Thanks for your answer.
    However, I said I was not too computer smart.
    So, what the heck are you talking about !
    Don't understand at all.

    I got a e-mail address with a password of X.
    Want to change password to Y.

    Anybody got a simple answer ?

    Thanks

    Who is your Internet Service Provider (ISP)? You would need to change the passwords at their website. Once it is changed with them you can then change them in Outlook Express.

    The simple method , (removed a couple of words - Newt) is to call customer service at your ISP and tell them what you want to do and have them do it for you.

    The other way is to use the account management page they told you to use (the internet web page) you login and choose to manage your email accounts and change the passwords. Once you changed them there, OE will not be able to log in and get your email until you change the ones in it to match. There it is tools/ accounts/ mail/the account / properties
