hi
I had the same problem of configuring outlook express with bsnl.in account. I contacted a
lot of people at BSNL and got all weird answers. Different mail server settings and
different ideas but all bull crap finally after 4 hours of fiddeling with settings I was able
to get my mail box running through outlook express and this is how.

1. remove any other mail account you might have.

2. go to tools--> accounts-->Mail-->ADD--> Mail...
3. Put in your display name and hit next
4. put is your email address abcd@bsnl.in( i.e if yo have a bsnl.in account) and hit next
4. put in incomming mail server and out going mail server as under and make sure it is
pop3 and huit next

incomming: mail.bsnl.in
outgoing: smtp.bsnl.in

5. here is the key that i founf. In the next screen do not put your user name as just abcd
make it abcd@bsnl.in and put in your password and hit next.
6. next screen click finish.
7. Now select the account you just created from the mail tab and click properties.
8. In the servers tab select the option my server requires authentication and the click on
the settings button right next to this option. there make sure you select the option use the
same settings as my incomming mail server.
