| 75543 | 2002-09-01 10:07:00 | Umm, I am starting a new outlook and puting "blues_boy15@hotmail.com" as the e-mail address. It is asking me for the "POP3 or IMAP" server for incoming mail and the SMTP Outgoing server. What do I put in? | JamesStewart (874) | ||
| 75544 | 2002-09-01 10:41:00 | Make sure that your email server is HTTP, and your provider is Hotmail The above is for OE if you are using Outlook this link might be useful also gives info on setting up OE hotmail. support.microsoft.com Also, if you use MS Outlook XP / 2002, you will notice that MS Outlook 2002 now claims to support Hotmail. Well it does, but it does so ONLY when you're online! So, you cannot download and then read or write emails offline like you can using Outlook Express 5 or 6. |

I think you might be mistaking Outlook XP with Outlook 2000 in this case - Outlook 2000 only let you access Hotmail accounts online, but I've had no problems with Outlook XP using Hotmail in much the same fashion as OE5 or 6. Until I got my wife a "real" email address she was using hotmail from within Outlook XP with no online/offline problems. Mike. |
