new laptop and email - help please

[smariac]

hi

I've just treated myself to a laptop and signed up for the vodephone internet - ( small white "dongle" that goes into the side of the laptop) so that i can access the internet anywhere. problem is that i cant send emails from the laptop - i've set up a aol email address but the laptop is asking for ISP addresses - any idea how i find this

thanks sorry if this seems a dumb question - im not that computer minded

You may be at the point of entering the address which is:
In the Incoming mail server field, enter: imap.aol.com
In the Outgoing mail server field, enter: smtp.aol.com

However not sure if you are tring to send by using AOL email or are you trying to setup an 'Account' using Outlook or Windows live mail. They are a bit easier to setup and have much more functionality than AOL. Outlook should be provided with your Windows software and you can use the Tools option to setup accounts.
Hope this helps
