pop3 server for Hotmail
Does anybody know if Hotmail has a pop3 server if so what is the name. I need it for setting up email alert on this new optical mouse I bought.

Hi setfree,
Don't think Hotmail is Pop3 accessable. I think it is web based only. |

Yep, it's web based only, unless you setup Outlook Express which you can use with your Hotmail account.

Even with Outlook Express I believe it's a HTTP server, not a POP3.

I've noticed in Outlook 2000/XP there is no option to add the hotmail account. In Outlook Express you can add the hotmail aco**** easy, but not in the Office edition. Anybody know how to add hotmail to the office outlook?

Hi UFO70, and welcome to PCMech,
As far as I know, there is no way to add Hotmail to Outlook 2000. It is a feature only offered in Outlook Express. |

lpc300 is correct. There is no option to add hotmail to Outlook until the 2002 version.

You're right. Big time limitations. That article just shows how to put the www.hotmail.com website in Outlook. There must be a ways to retreive hotmail and put it in Outlook 2000/XP. What about a redirector/forwarder to another account?

Bottom line - if it ain't POP3 or IMAP, it's not going to work with Outlook 2K. Get a Yahoo account and pay $30 a year for POP3 access to it.

I don't use hotmail but you may be able to redirect it to a real (pop3) account. You would just have to look and see if they offer that as an option. No more dependable than hotmail is I think I would look into getting a real account somewhere else. There aren't a many options for free mail service as there once was but if you search around a little there are some left.
