Thanks for the prompt reply. I connect to the net using Adelphia Cable. I
use Outlook 2003 to check mail from my hotmail account. Since hotmail does
not use SMTP is this why I cannot locate SMTP for Outlook 2003?

Contact your ISP that hosts your mailbox for these details.

That is correct. Outlook is an HTTP account. When you add the Hotmail
account through Tools-> Email Accounts the HTTP is listed at the bottom.
Note that you can only add Hotmail accounts to Outlook or Outlook Express
when you have a paid subscription. You cannot connect to free Hotmail
accounts through Outlook or Outlook Express.
