Hi. I new to Outlook and have the version that comes with Office 2000. How do I set up my mail account to check the mail from my Hotmail account? I do not know what to type where it says "Email server names". I use Juno as my ISP if that helps. Thanks for any help you can give!
 
Outlook 2000 does not support Hotmail - HTTP account support was added with
Outlook 2002.

Hi

Actually, you can setup Hotmail or Yahoo link on
Outlook2000.

Go to any Outlook folder, for example Inbox, right click
and select New Folder. Type the New Folder name, such as
Hotmail, and create it as a Mail item. Click OK. After
you have created, right click on the new folder Hotmail,
select Properties, go to Home Page tab and type in the URL
http://www.hotmail.com under the Address column. click OK.
When you click the Hotmail folder in your Inbox, Hotmail
automatically opens up waiting for you to key in your
password.

Hope this helps.

This opens the hotmail web interface but it does not let you "get" your mail
in Outlook.
