back again to ask another question for help

can you use hotmail with this???

if so how ?

[Tats]

Outlook Express (and Entourage on Mac) have inbuilt settings that let you add your Hotmail account. Outlook itself doesn't.

Get a Mac :D

Outlook itself doesn't.

i thought hotmail had disabled POP 3 unless you had a premium account... This my be different now though with Hotmail being bought off MSN

Tools > Accounts > Add > Mail

Type in your name, email address...

Choose HTTP from the combo box (My incoming server is a HTTP server)

Choose Hotmail from My HTTP mail service provider is Hotmail...

Type in your account name (Hotmail email address) and password...

and away you go!

Looks like you got some help already

Anyways:

I personally wouldn't use POP3 for hotmail.

When you go setup a new account in Outlook select the HTTP (sever type), that way you can synchronize both online (normal way) and Outlook; so you get the benefits of both :)

EDIT: BB - great minds think alike :P
