Hotmail in Outlook 2003

[phorte]

So.. okay.. I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to set up my hotmail account in Microsoft Outlook 2000?? And if it is possible could someone tell me how do do it??

I am pretty sure you can do it in Outlook Express but i would rather do it in Outlook.. so..

Thanks in advance..

Note: I accidently wrote 2003 in the title.. it should be 2000..

it should go something like this (i have outlook express, but regular outlook shouldn't be TOO much different).

just open up outlook, then click on tools-->accounts

then click on add-->mail

then you should be prompted from their.

if outlook is different, i'm sorry for posting the wrong advice :) i think i have outlook 2000 on my laptop...i'll look later

hmm.. well.. i went to tools acounts and then to add mail..

then a internet connection wizard came up.. i put in my name as it asked me to do.. then my e-mail address at hotmail.. and then i told me too put in a POP3 Sever name for incoming and outgoin e-mails..

Hi Aussie,

I tried this about 5 months ago, And it did work.

It creates a fooder on the left too, called hotmail and it has a hotmail icon, So OE was meant to do it.

Have you tried

Pop3.hotmail.com

&

Smtp.hotmail.com

And then for your user name and password, Put the username and password that you use to login on the hotmail site.

If I have a MSN mail can I use outlook to check my e-mails I have tried but it dos not work ? is it possible ?

When u say OE do u mean Outlook Express or Outlook?? Cause from what i have been looking around and seeing is that it is very easy to do on Outlook Express but im not sure about Outlook 2000..

And thoose POP3 and SMTP severs didnt work.. i read somewhere that hotmail doent have them.. or i dont know..

Thanks for try to help.. :)

Hi Aussie,

When i say OE, I mean Outlook Express

I think there is an option to use a hotmail address.

Im using Incredimail now so i can't look.

Open OE and go to

Tools > Accounts > Add

Then follow the wizard

When it asks you for your email, type yout hotmail email

Im sure it will ask you somewhere if it is a hotmail account.

you can't have hotmail with outlook nor any mail messenger system because hotmail does not support pop (incoming) external mail servers - it has to be done inside their hotmail.com pages...

oh and I don't think your outgoing server (smtp) can possibly be hotmail since it's not hotmail that gives you your internet connection... Generally speaking your smtp address contains your ISP's name...

Hi Mlk,

I had my hotmail address set up on Outlook Express,

And it worked

[phorte]

yeah.. i think it will only work on Outlook Express.. but it wont on Outlook 2000.. i think it will on 2002.. but not 2000.. cause on the hotmail help thing it gives intrustions for 2002..

but oh well.. guess it wont work then..

Thanks for trying but alas.. twas not to be.. :P
