Diane,

You are subscribed to this list with a Juno account name.  Unless there has
recently been a major change in Juno. You will not be able to get OE (or any
mail program) to talk to Juno.  You must use their custom software to access
that account.   But to answer your question.....

In many cases, an ISP will have separate servers for incoming and outgoing
mail.  An SMTP server is generally for outgoing mail and a POP3 is for
incoming mail.  But there are many ISPs that only have a single server
performing both incoming and outgoing processes.

You need to contact your ISP and find out *IF* they have one and the _full_
name of the SMTP server.

Usually it is SMTP __dot__ the domain name __dot__ the domain type.  For
example: smtp.host.net

The address for the POP3 server is not quite as intuitive and only your ISP
will be able to tell you what it is.
