i want to receive mail from my hotmail, yahoo and excite
accounts but cant figure outhow to get outlook to do that.
Does anyone know how to set up outlook to do this?
 
For Hotmail:

- Define an HTTPmail account in Outlook. Outlook 2002 supports 1
Hotmail account per mail profile. If you have N Hotmail accounts, you
will need to define N mail profiles, then restart Outlook everytime you
want to switch to a different mail profile to use a different Hotmail
account. Yeah, right, real ease-of-use design in there, sure.

- Use Hotmail Popper. Runs as a local proxy. You configure a POP3
account in Outlook that connects to Hotmail Popper, which then connects
to Hotmail. You can also use Hotmail Popper to send outbound e-mails
through your Hotmail account although I prefer to still use my ISP's
SMTP server.

For Yahoo:

- Use YahooPOPs.

For Excite:

- You're screwed. Maybe IzyMail Online supports the proprietary webmail
interface used by Excite; if they do, you'll be paying for their
service.
