how do i set up 3 hotmail accounts in outlook?

[Guest]

For over a year I have always used my outlook to get my hotmail without
problems. The first time I set it up one of the accounts would try to
connect to loads of ports brfore timing out but it fixed itself in a day.
Now that I had to rebuild my system I can not get 3 to work... 2 yes but not
3.
It does the same thing as in the past... tries to connect about 60 times
then I get the fail to sync error.

Any help or tip? Am I missing something?

What version of Outlook and are you using a paid version of Hotmail/MSN? If
not, you will not be allowed to collect your Hotmail via Outlook/Express.

It is OK now I have it working.
I am using Outlook 2002 (10.6515.6714) SP3
I do not have paid hotmail accounts and have had them for years.

I just deleted the three accounts from Outlook
Then deleted the files in \documents and settings\USERNAME\local
settings\application data\microsoft\outlook\outlookhotmail-000000XX.pst
(XX=number)
Then readded the accounts one at a time.

All is well.
Thanks.

Are you saying you do not have paid hotmail or MSN accounts and still are
able to retrieve hotmail messages thru Outlook? When I tried it would not
let me do it. I have Outlook 2002 also.

Yes I have 2 cablemodem (POP) accounts, 3 hotmail (HTTP) accounts and a Gmail
(POP) account all in my Outlook 2002 with SP.

All is with regestered versions of XP, Office 2002 Pro. I am 100% legal on
my system. All Microsoft products are regestered.

Maybe they have just not gotten to my servers yet.
