how do I set up Outlook as my default e-mail screen insteadof MSN

[Guest]

I want to click on Outlook and read email from there, not go through MSN
Hotmail. How do I set up Outlook?

Ask MSN for the directions to set up Outlook. IIRC, you must be using a
paid account to use it with Outlook.

You'll need to PAY to get a Hotmail account that can be accessed using
an e-mail client; otherwise, you are stuck using the
webmail-for-dummies interface (and their new Live beta interface is
just a pretty face atop the same ol' service).

For a timeline on MSN/Hotmail, read http://snipurl.com/qkfx. It is
unlikely you have a legacy account at MSN or Hotmail to let you
continue having POP3/SMTP access.
