multiple e.mail accounts

[Guest]

I currently have 2 e.mail accounts. One with comcast and one with hotmail.
Can I setup Outlook to download e.mails from both accounts and/or to send
e.mails through either account. It's currently setup to only receive and send
via comcast and I would like to use Outlook to be able send and receive via
hotmail. I now can only access my hotmail directly through their website.

You receive an error message when you use Outlook Express
to access your Hotmail account

You need to get rid of your hotmail account ASAP and find a new
[ free ] e-mail provider. I recommend Yahoo.

Microsoft (who owns hotmail) announced some 6 - 8 months ago that
"within a year or so" they would be shutting down hotmail.

No reason given that I recall, other than-- perhaps-- it's free, and
you may know that Bill Gates doesn't like to give you stuff he can
sell.

I'd also ballpark that "year or so" is rapidly winding down.

Many may not be aware of the closing down of Hotmail. I happen to know
about it because I live some 30 miles from Microsoft, and so
"Microsoft News" is "local news" for me.


Good luck!

Your answer doesn't address the OP's question at all. The correct answer is
the one from Carey Frisch.
