Question: How to set up Mail? [I have no idea]

[jasfa131]

How do you set up an account for Mail? I have no idea what "incoming server" and "outgoing server" means. And I have no idea how to get an email address to use.

HELP PLEASE, TAHNKS!

Your internet supplier (ISP) will know that information...
incoming server is also called POP server
outgoing server is also called SMTP server

You don't have to know what those terms mean, but your ISP can give you the information that is needed to fill in the settings for those.
And, if you have an ISP, then you likely already have an email address. You do need to ask your ISP for help on this.

Who is your ISP (Internet service provider)?
