I am trying to join my hotmail to outlook 2003 but nothing happens. I enter
all info required and click finish. It tells me it is done however no emails
come in to outlook. I have to go into msn today to get them. Can anyone help
me?
 
I just tried it and it worked. The steps I followed were:

Tools -> email accounts -> add new email account

Then

HTTP

Then I filled in my name, email address, it filled in the username
automatically and then I just entered my password... clicked finish and
presto! It worked.
 
Free Hotmail support in Outlook has ceased. If you have already used the
service with Outlook you might be able to use it for a while until that then
ceases.

The alternative now is to use the MSN connector which requires a paid
account.
 
You can still get Hotmail through Outlook 2003 and Outlook Express for now.
Sometime soon--probably Jan-March 2005 according to newsletters, you'll have
to pay a monthly fee to continue using Outlook with Hotmail. Browser access
will remain free.
