can't find host name for C.L. e-mailing Closed

Question

Hello,
I have windows xp, and juno.  I can't send e-mails for job searches, mostly using Craigs.  My reply is that the host
smtp can't be found.  I know that this is an outgoing protocol, but can't find out how to change or find my host to fix the problem.  
I have tried everything, to no avail.  Others have tried also.  I have no help thru Juno.  I have Outlook Express, which I have tried to remove also.  Can't do it!  

Please help, the main problem I think is the host info I need to install.  I need a job, and the computer is the way that most companys want replies.

Can you help?   Thank you.  Kathy

If JUNO can't give you support - you might try to set up a Gmail account.  

It sounds as if you have no default  email client set up in outlook express/Windows.  Hence Windows doesn't know how to send the email - it doesn't have the address (via SMTP) of you mail server. 

Downloading Gmail should fix this problem.

Here's Juno's settings for host info:
http://help.juno.com/support/email/email-setup.html

But you need to have a program to send that e-mail, like Thunderbird (free!) Outlook Express, or you could use a web account like gmail, yahoo, or msn. Windows is looking for a program for whenever you click on that e-mail link, not a web-based account. You could copy and paste into a web account, or use Outlook Express (using the Juno settings page above) and these instructions: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/171163 or Download Thunderbird https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/ and use http://www.tech-evangelist.com/2008/04/03/thunderbird-outgoing-email-problems-02/ (or use Google to find instructions).

hope that helps,
