Can anyone help? My operating systems is XP and I use Incredimail however I wish to start using Outlook (not Outlook Express) but seem to have problems setting up the Pop3 account for my Hotmail - it keeps telling me that there is a problem with the server name or port for both the Pop3 and SMTP. |

Hotmail in Outlook. You can view your Hotmail e-mail in Outlook by creating a Hotmail folder and then associating a Web view of that folder that points to the Hotmail Web site. NOTE: The technique outlined in the steps below can be used to view messages from any Web-based e-mail provider, including Yahoo, Lycos, Excite and others. Creating a Hotmail Folder On the View menu, click Folder List to turn on the Folder List. Right-click Outlook Today, and then click New Folder. Name the folder Hotmail and then click OK. Your Folder List should now include a Hotmail mail items folder. Associating the Hotmail Folder with the Hotmail Web Site In the Folder List, right-click the Hotmail folder, and then click Properties. On the Home Page tab, type http://www.hotmail.com in the Address box. Click to select Show home page by default for this folder, and then click OK. Now when you click the Hotmail folder in your folder list, you will see the option to log on to your account. You can add a Hotmail folder shortcut to your Outlook Bar by dragging the Hotmail folder to the Outlook Bar. Full Instructions and Information at this: site Joe.
