setting up Hotmail in Outlook 2000

[Guest]

Does anyone know what the pop3 and smpt server information is for Hotmail, so I can it up through Outlook 2000? Is it pop3.msn.com and smtp.msn.com?

Thanks

It is a http server and you should hook right to it by choosing hotmail in the Mail account setup.

As far as I know, only Outlook Express supports hotmail, since OE
implements http protocol (and not Outlook). I do not believe Hotmail
has pop access.

Right. But Outlook 2000 and up can hook into Hotmail. Trouble is you can only read the e-mail not send. Maybe Outlook 2003 has this ability but I am not sure. Ask in the Outlook newsgroup for specifics on what can and cannot be done with later versions of Outlook and Hotmail.

True. It appears that Hotmail is supported in Outlook 2000 thru a
hack (which works for SOME people), and 2002 fully supports Hotmail.

Go here, and then follow the links to Microsoft page on Outlook 2002.
