Who Is your ISP Internet service provider? Probably a POP3 server.If you know your provider you can do a search for setting up email accounts with that provider and they lay it out pretty good.
I'm pretty sure if you have a POP3 account that you will not be able to sync your calendar or contacts. If it's IMAP you should be able to. I just moved all my information over to Gmail. I have it setup as IMAP and it instantly updates my PlayBook contacts and calendar. On my 9900 I have it set to sync and everything syncs great. I also found a program for my computer that syncs my Outlook & Gmail. Life is good!
