Who is your ISP?  They usually have instructions online somewhere....

That's a new one to me.  Most web based email is perfectly capable of handling this sort of thing these days...

If you have an email address that is not making it to HTC (I think hotmail and yahoo don't play well with them), then setting up outlook express to handle that email isn't going to help anything, as it's still going to have to go through their servers.

If you have windows 7 (or maybe even Vista) then you won't even HAVE outlook express in the first place.  Microsoft will want you to use livemail which IMO is just junk.  My advice would be to use Mozilla Thunderbird if this is the case.

But yeah, regardless, your ISP should have instructions how to do this (every ISP is different), and without more information here, we can't really help.

Even if I wasn't going to use a web based email, I wouldn't use Outlook.

Thunderbird is the Email side of Firefox, great software, great tools, easy to setup.

Call him and ask.  Not something that ever came up the one time I talked to him.  Good luck.
