How do I use Outlook with a Hotmail E-mail address

[Chuck Jernigan]

I would like to use Outlook for my E-mail and I now have a Hotmail e-mail
address. I just recently changed internet service providers. I have
attempted to setup Outlook using the account wizard. When I click on
send/receive, I get the following error message:

Task 'Hotmail: Folder:Inbox Synchronizing headers.' reported error
(0x800CCCF6) : 'An unknown error has occurred. Please save any existing work
and restart the program.'

My ISP can't seem to help, they suggest I ask Microsoft.

What have I done wrong?

Thanks for any help you can give!

Hotmail is HTTP mail and you need to specify that when you set up the
account. Is this what you did?
