Hi Chris,

I get the information on this website that this wouldn´t work:
http://ask-leo.com/what_are_the_pop3_and_smtp_settings_for_hotmail.html

On this MS website is an article about how to configure Outlook with
hotmail:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287424/en-us

maybe it will help.

hotmail hasn't offered pop and SMTP for many years. Unless you pay for
access, you'll need a 3rd party utility.

Hi Chris,
I have 2 hotmail accounts setup in Outlook 2003 and was never prompted for
the server info.

Just do tools>Email accounts.
Click on add new email account> next.
You should see a list of 5 types of accounts.
Choose "HTTP" and click next.
Now you should see "Hotmail" listed as the service provider on the right
side of the window.
Fill in the un & pw info and your all set.
