| 649985 | 2008-03-16 20:08:00 | If youre talking about adding hotmail to OE. I dont think you can unless the hotmail account is an old one. Otherrwise, you'll have to pay to access your hotmail through OE. |

| 649986 | 2008-03-16 20:24:00 | Thank you, Speedy. That's right. I wish to add Hotmail to OE. I have had the Hotmail account from at least January 2007. Is that long enough? Really not interested in paying money. I thought that if I could add it to OE I would. |

| 649987 | 2008-03-16 20:31:00 | Well you'll soon find out open OE. Go to tools / accounts / mail tab / add / mail Put in your name / hotmail addy. Change incoming email server to http, hotmail, underneath it Click on next, then put your hotmail email in then your password. Then next. Then click on finish. It'll either download the folders, or bring up an error If it brings up an error, you cant use hotmail in OE. |

| 649988 | 2008-03-16 20:39:00 | Won't work, cause MS are w*nkers and for some reason don't allow you to do this. Windows Live Mail (get.live.com)will work, and is probably the easiest way to go. Otherwise install Windows Live Messenger, and use that. OR dump your @hotmail address and get a @gmail (or some other free email) address. Gmail is far preferable, although I'm sure you won't want to change your address, weigh up the options. |

| 649991 | 2008-03-16 20:47:00 | Yes I know as mine also works but free Hotmail accounts created after a certain date will not work. I can't remember when they changed it but it was long before January 2007. | FoxyMX (5) | ||
