153097 2003-06-17 07:59:00 If you mean MSN as in hotmail, yes you can get it to go to OE but when I was searching the hotmail options the other day, it said you had to have OE6 to get it to work. Well I only have 5.5 and get it, but no way could I set it up for my niece the other day, as it kept telling me that I needed OE6. So good luck, but go into their email and look at the options or put a search in for OE from within a hotmail account. ?:| supergran (108)

153099 2003-06-17 08:36:00 In OE just go to Tools - Accounts - Add - Mail and type in the Hotmail address in the right box. Follow the wizard through and the Hotmail account will be set up in OE. It will ask to download the folders after you are finished and then you can use it just like other email accounts. Hedwig® (3938)

Sorry, I think I misunderstood your post and was thinking it was a Hotmail address with @hotmail.com. I am not familiar with @msn.com but maybe someone else may know.

Try this:

oe.msn.msnmail.hotmail.com

Hope this helps :)

153103 2003-06-18 05:26:00 Go into Outlook Express
Tools > Accounts
Click on the Add Button and Click Mail

Enter A Display Name and Click Next
Enter an Email Address and Click Next

Mail Server Setup:
The incoming Mail Server is 'HTTP'
My HTTP Mail Service Provider is 'Other'
Incoming Mail Server: "oe.msn.msnmail.hotmail.com without the quote marks
Click Next

Account Name - this is the username you use to log into hotmail with including @msn.com
If you want it saved then fill it in and select Remember Password
Click Next
Click Finish
That's it!

In Outlook Express you will see new folders - these are the folders from the Hotmail Server. You can copy messages to them, move messages from them, send and receive as per usual.
