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?

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.
