Setting up a hotmail account

[Craig]

I would like to setup a hotmail account with Outlook.
What should be the names for Incoming and Outgoing mailer servers.

With Outlookexpress, everything was automatic.

Don't think that's possible - there was a workaround for Outlook 2000,
and Outlook 2002 definitely can use hotmail but I think you're out of
luck with 98 AFAIK....

It is possible, i have one set up.

Under Server tab, where it says Server URL type:
http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp
then enter your hotmail addy and password, enter a checkmark where it says
remember password. That should do it.

Good luck,
