hej i want to use Outlook to check my military e-mail but i don't know how 2 set it up. specifically i don't know what the pop and smtp servers are. anyone have any insights on this issue???

i can't find the info on their site

you can't. The military removed the ability to use pop servers about 6 months ago. You have to go to the site. And to make things more annoying they make you change your password every 6 months and it has to be some impossible combination of at least 10 figures utilizing at least 2 letters and 2 numbers. They make is so annoying that you have to write it down to remember the damn thing now...and we all know how safe that is.

i've actually found the AKO site to be pretty handy.

and passwords are easy, just switch whatever letters you capitalize, but use the same password.

I still use Outlook to send and recieve mail through my AKO account. They have very specific instructions and you need to download their security certificate.

Check out the instructions at: https://akomail.us.army.mil -- click on the "configuration information" at the bottom of the page. It'll tell you what you need to set-up Outlook.
