WTF

okay i know outlook express can check hotmail

but is there a way to get just plain outlook 2k to check it

( i want to check everything with one program)

[eh?]

goto tools>options then click mail setup and add new e-mail accounts, then this little wizard will pop up and help you

It's http. Attached is my screen from OE. I don't know if it's the same as plain vanilla Outlook. The complete link is http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp

Hope this helps.

[eh?]

[Crash893]

No sorry the oe sceen isnt the same as outlook


thats my qusetion is what do you select to make outlook get HTTP

so far im only seeing pop3 and imap

[eh?]

what version of outlook is it? im runnin xp and it has a wizard which does it and i thin win2k does too

[Crash893]

ill put it this way i can be running any version i want in a few mins if you tell me the xp outlook can do hotmail

sooooo......yes no

right now im running 2k

[eh?]

bot the windows 2k and xp have a little wizard that pretty much sets it up for you all you have to do is go to options and add new e-mail accounts and then select http and it will default at hotmail, then just enter your information

I had the same problem you had. Outlook Express *worked* but I was really mad that Office2000 didn't have the tab for Hotmail. I searched Hotmail's site and Microsofts but to no avail. I eventually just gave up and tried Office XP.

And YES, it does have built in support for Hotmail accounts. :)

i did everything too and I can't get office xp to do it. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! stupid M$ crap. outlook is just a bombing program anyhow better that it doesn't work.

wait it worked click the hotmail inbox not the regular inbox. slap forehead :rolleyes:
