Hotmail in Outlook Express HELP

I did a search for "outlook express add email account"
I'd like to add my hotmail account to outlook.

Some threads touched on the fact you need an upgraded version of hotmail to add an account, is this true?

I know i can go to tools then add email account etc. it's when i get to incomnig and outgoing server i'm not sure what to do. i noticed in other threads there is instructions as to what to with a yahoo account, but i couldnt find a hotmail walk through.

any suggestions?

thanks

 

Give a link. Explain how. Or dont. I think were all starting to prefer you simply DONT.

 

hmm, not exactly so far.

i found on microsoft.com that it states NO free hotmail accounts can be used with Outlook. So that puts me out. see the below link, the 2nd bullet point down.

wasn't there an option inder TOOLS or one of those things to use hotmail? I remember seeing that in one of the drop down menus.....

i use office 2003, so i no longer have outlook express...

 

thanks for clearing it up Halo.

However, is it possible for me to add another account i have to OE?

It isn't a major one like yahoo or hotmail. it's BT. from united kingdom.

How can i go about getting my email address from that account onto OE?

if it's possible?

 

excellent, thanks very much.

 

I'd be interested to see what they call "older users".

I've had mine for 5-6+ years and can't use mail forwarding whatsoever.

 

Yes it is!

I was just reading about this last night.

Apparently, Micro$$oft stopped mail forwarding in a bid to thwart spammers who were exploiting this technology.

At the moment, the mail forwarding ban only applies to anyone who is trying to set it up.

If you had it previously set up, you won't be affected, although Micro$$oft will be sure to change this one day.
