Hotmail through Outlook

[Eric Hunt]

Is it possible to check a hotmail account through
Outlook? I thought a few years ago I did this, but I
didn't remember how to set it up.

yes it is possible, the setup is fairly straiy forward. just add a new email
account when it asks you thetype of server select http.
however with outlook 2002. it disconnects from the server very very often to
the point were it is a real pain to work with it.
good luck

Yes, Tools Menu, Email Accounts, Add Email Account,

POP3, fill out user info and p/w, servers, etc.
If you already have it configured for Exchange Server, I
would STRONGLY recommend that you create new folder to
dump internet email into (so as not to mix it up) and
create rule to move anything addressed to your internet
email address to move to that new folder). Pretty easy.
Otherwise, Outlook Express works GREAT, and you can set
it to auto-add those you respond to, to your address
book, which can't be done with Outlook.
