Hotmail to Outlook

[AximBoy]

Ok, still waiting for my Axim. But in the meantime, I've been playing with Outlook. ive got it pretty much to my liking except for one thing. How do I check my Hotmail Account with Outlook? I've got it all good for Outlook Express, so i thought it would be easy for Outlook. It's not. For about 3 days I've been fiddling. Anybody know?

I think you have to pay to get stmp access

[AximBoy]

well, technically. Hotmail is a POP3 account, right? I cant seem to find the settings for it though (server name etc...)Now, in Outlook Express it is listed as a HTTP account and works fine. All I want is my new email messages downloaded to my Axim so i can read them later whether i am online or not.:cool:

POP3 access for Hotmail or MSN is only available to subscribers to MSN Extra Storage and MSN Internet Service.
You could upgrade to Outlook XP, it works for me.

i have MSN 7. Shouldn't i have POP3 access? I f so, where the heck are the settings?

[NoWop]

According to the web site, if you're paying for the internet access or extra storage you have it.
I only use their free hotmail so I can't tell you what the settings are, but they should have them posted in their email help section.

BTW, Outlook XP has the setup needed to read MSN & Hotmail, I use it both at home and work and it works great.

Ciao for now.

PS: Hang in there! The Axim is worth the wait, all my colleagues with iPAQs feel inferior now...
:D

I have Outlook 2000, is the XP update free? (or substantially cheaper than Office XP alone?)

[NoWop]

Free upgrades? From Microsoft? In your dreams buddy!
I guess I should count myself lucky my company provides me with the hardware and software...

I did found their POP3 setting, but unless you have one of their pay services they don't work, I tried already :mad:
MSN's POP3 server name: pop3.email.msn.com
MSN's SMTP server name: secure.smtp.email.msn.com

I found this program called 'yahoopops' that also allows me to check my Yahoo! account with Outlook. And Yahoo! is the same as MSN, you pay or no POP3. I am sure that if one looked hard enough there is one out there for MSN or Hotmail...

This program works like a champ. I got my 56K CF Modem from Dell today and it works great. Just wish there was more to view on the net with PPC. Does anyone know where I can get Java support?... free???
