What email services can you hook up to outlook express?

I know you can not use hotmail or yahoo.

Another question: If I do make one will it affect someone else that already has one on a different screen name?

    gmail is easier but

    Incoming Mail (POP3) Server: pop.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 995)
    Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 465, use authentication)
    Account Name/Login Name: Your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the “@yahoo.com”)
    Email Address: Your Yahoo! Mail address (e.g.,)
    Password: Your Yahoo! Mail password

    If you want to use Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird or other third party email clients to view your email you have 2 options.
    Subscribe to mail plus:

    or download and install YPOPS

    then follow the directions for your version of outlook here,

    If you have trouble with set up, check the YPOPS installation page for alternate set up instructions.

    Click on YPOPS link on the left.
    Then Click on Configuring email clients towards the bottom.
    Choose the appropriate link for your mail client.

    I currently utilize version 2.0.0.4 of Thunderbird
    and version 0.8.3 of YPOPS (there is a more recent version of YPOPS that you need if you are Yahoo Beta Mail) and have no problems.
