What application are you using to access your Hotmail account? Outlook Express lets you configure your hotmail account. However, as far as using Hotmail as a POP client, you cannot. It is a web based Email service. They do not offer a POP or IMAP account. Anyhow, use outlook and it's a sinch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure, but I do not think that Oitlook will work with Hotmail. I beleive Hotmail will work exclusively with Outlook Express. But again, I am not 100% sure on that. Anyhow I use Outlook Express for Email, I think it's better for Email than, Outlook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
