Outlook 2003 will allow you to have more than one http account and it uses
Outlook's interface, not the hotmail page. It is stored as a separate ..pst
file in Outlook. Outlook 2003 can be acquired as a standalone product -
there is no need to purchase the entire Office package. However, if you
wish to use Word as the mail editor, you will need the 2003 version of that
as well.
You may want to look into purchasing Office Standard Upgrade - there are
some pretty good bargains out there for the full Office package, versus just
Outlook which is ~$100 as a standalone product.

| Thanks, but this applies to Outlook 2002 or 2003. I have 2000 and

||||| What I need to know specifically is how it works with Hotmail ?
|| Outlook
||| has always been a Pop3 mail and now they say Hotmail will work the
||| same? But will it be directly into Outlook like a Pop3 e-mail
||| or will it be like the work-around using Outlook 2000 where you
||| actually end up going to the Hotmail. com site ? The Hotmail.com
||| site is very slow to use and not very time efficient. Too much
||| having to go back and forth to do what can be done so much faster
||| with Outlook or Outlook Express. Hotmail.com is more for newbie's
||| or people who
||| don't use Ofc. Outlook and Outlook Express is for power users.
||| I've already got Ofc 2000 Professional and it works for me so I
||| don't
||| want to get Ofc 2003 unless the Outlook is really what I want and
||| need. If it still works the old way, anyone got a suggestion as to
||| another Contact Mgr or PIM that works with Hotmail? TNX
