There is no version 2ooo of Outlook. There is a version 2000. HTTPmail was supported starting in version 2002/XP. You're out of luck unless you upgrade. www.slipstick.com, I believe, has a kludge on how you might get Hotmail working with Outlook 2000. Or get an HTTP-to-POP3 protocol converter proxy that handles WebDAV, like Hotmail Popper (used to free but not anymore), to define a POP3 account in Outlook that connects to the proxy which then connects to Hotmail.
