Outlook Express

[ThePainter]

Hi,
In microsoft office Outlook you can add a MSN or HOTMAIL
account to your usual Email accounts but there isnt a
facility to do this in Outlook Express without knowing
the pop3 or the smtp details.
Does anyone know how to do this?

If you click on Tools/accounts>add you will get a popup
wizard that will walk you through adding either an existing
or new Hotmail account. Outlook Express wants to know the
email address and type of service, POP, IMAP, or HTTP.
Hotmail is HTTP and the correct Hotmail address is in the
program.

MSN mail is only available to users of MSN Explorer (as far
as I know) although if you have MSN as your ISP you can have
mail @msn.com which can be seen using the Hotmail web
interface, Not Outlook or Outlook Express.

Hotmail account but neither work they error saying that
the service is unavailable ?
Any other ideas anyone!
