setting up outlook 2000 with hotmail

[Susan]

I can't get my outlook to accept hotmail--the help
section says
"Start Outlook, and on the Tools menu, click E-mail
Accounts.In the E-mail Accounts dialog box, click to
select the Add a new E-mail Account option, and then
click Next.In the Server Type dialog box, click HTTP."
there is no E-mail Accounts tab, no Add a new E-mail
account option , and no HTTP option.
Can anyone tell me what to type in to the lines
requesting incoming mail (pop3) and outgoing mail (smtp)?

1) Look on Help, About. It sounds like you have corp mode. You need IMO mode
to have accounts.
2) Does Outlook 2000's help file say it supports HTTP access? I didn't think
it was added until Outlook 2002, but then I always used Corp mode.

Yes, it makes a big difference. Outlook 2002 supports HTTP access.

Do you have a Tools, Email accounts? If not, go to Control panel, mail or
right click on the outlook icon on your desktop and choose properties. Then
follow the steps in help.
