> It has Open Office and Kontact as an email program.

> I am completely familiar with setting up mail accounts in both Outlook and
> Outlook express but have never used Kontact.
>
> I do have all the “Outlook” settings (server details, password, POP3 and
> SMTP settings etc).

> What is making it more difficult for me is that I have to do it all in

> If you can tell me if it is as simple as Outlook to add an account and what
> Kontact calls accounts etc I should be able to figure it all out.
