Hotmail Through oulook?

Didn't really know where to post this so sorry if tis in the wrong place!

I wanted to use my hotmail account through outlook but I have completely forgotten how to do it. Can anyone give tell me? Its an @msn account rather than @hotmail but I guess it works in the same way.

Thanks.

Unless you have a real old MSN account, newer ones won't do it!

tools--->accounts---->click add tab--->add mail...
enter your account info....you can add as many as you want but u have to go to your hotmail inbox to delete things cause OL..downloads them so deleting them from OL will only delete them from your comp not your account

I believe you can have it synchronise folders after you are done and before you close Outlook Express. You shouldn't have to go to Hotmail's site that way.

You're right Tuf. It's all automatic on my system. Never had to go to HotMail's site.

Excuse me, MSN does allow it now. It's been a long time family, like about a year and a half, since I checked the guidelines. At that time, they weren't allowing it.

I just configured Hotmail to work on Outlook and it looks fine.
Can I ADD my free yahoo account as well? If so, what do I need to enter for Outgoing and Incoming mail protocols? Thanks.
