Your username is your full email address.

Your password was provided when your POP account was setup. You can change your password after logging in.

There are three email programs to choose from after logging in. You may use any one that you prefer. There are also other options to setup for your webmail after logging in but these are optional settings.

Outlook has great help files to help you learn to use the mail program once it's setup using the instructions above.
