Hotmail problem

the hotmail site has been blocked at the place where i check my email, so i was wondering if anyone knew of a downloadable program that can retreive my messages from the hotmail server. msn messenger is not an option

 

Outlook or Outlook Express can be used, just type in your hotmail email and it configures settings for you.

 

uhh no dice. no outlook installed.

 

Do you have any mail programs installed at all?

 

nope. its on a work compy. some idiot printed a bunch of porn to one of our network printers, so they blocked hotmail. we have deep freeze on our computers so i cant even restart to install outlook. i was hoping that some program could access the hotmail server, so i can check my mail at least every week. by now i prolly have 100s of unread, so ....yeah

 

Outlook and Outlook express can only be configured to check hotmail if you are using the pay $ervice. Other than that I don't think there is a way.

 

looks like time to start a gmail account.
have a look & let me know if you need an invite

 

Not true, Outlook and Outlook Express will work with free accounts.

 

what do you use to check your company e-mail??

not necessarily (sp)!! i got this on Wednesday, February 23, 2005 2:20 PM. - sos

Dear MSN Member,

Recently, Hotmail® announced that in order to improve customer experience and reduce spam and junk e-mail abuse on MSN® services, Hotmail will no longer allow new e-mail accounts to be accessed via Microsoft® Office Outlook® and Outlook Express.

We are pleased to inform you that because you are an existing and valued customer, at this time your current Hotmail and MSN account(s) are exempt from this restriction and you will be able to continue enjoying access to those accounts from Outlook or Outlook Express. However, any new Hotmail or MSN accounts you create will not be accessible via Outlook or Outlook Express.

Because you actively use Outlook or Outlook Express to access one or more of your MSN Hotmail or MSN e-mail accounts, this could be the ideal time to consider subscribing to our powerful new
e-mail service - Microsoft Office Outlook Live.

As an Outlook Live subscriber, not only can you get uninterrupted access to your MSN e-mail accounts from Outlook, but you will also enjoy many other benefits.

 

Well thanks for filling me in on that, didn't know that at all as my address is about 4 years old now.

 

yeh, that account is about 2-3 (or more) years old as well. i just happened to save the e-mail. - sos
