ok if you add a hotmail account and the address is .com its fine

but if i enter a .co.uk one it wont enter detials itself? its asking me for incoming mail server pop3 or imap or http ? then it wants a outgoing mail smtp server ?

 

i would also like to know an answer for this lol
cheers

 

select HTTP, Hotmail, and server name of http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp

That should do it, but i havent got a hotmail.co.uk address to test with, only a com

give it a go though, only thing that could affect it is if the co.uk addresses use different servers.

 

it says hotmail no longer allows access for free hotmail accounts


fookin coonts

bastards! I've had my .com for yonks, must be why mine works

* Make sure you have an MSN Hotmail Plus subscription for the Hotmail account you want to access offline.
* Select Tools | Accounts... from the menu in Outlook Express.
* Click Add and select Mail....
* Enter your name.
* Click Next.
* Enter your Hotmail address ("hmmzl34@hotmail.co.uk", for example).
* Click Next again.
* Make sure HTTP is selected under My incoming mail server is a __ server.
* Now, select Hotmail under My HTTP mail service provider is __.
* Click Next.
* Enter your Hotmail address ("hmmzl34@hotmail.co.uk", for example) under Account name:
* Type your Hotmail password under Password.
* Click Next.
* Click Finish.
* Click Close to close the Outlook Express accounts window.
* Now, select Yes to download the Hotmail folders list in Outlook Express.

You must now have the hotmail plus subscription to do this now, I believe

 

Do you want it pushed to the phone or do you wish to connect and download ?

 

pushed to the phone preferablly. I can do through wap but would rather have it sent. Thanks

 

You have to forward the hotmail to a push email service such as
http://www.consilient.com/push/consumer/

Its still not perfect either and has limited attachment support.
Push email only really works well on a Blackberry

 

thanks fella

 

outlook 2007 re-introduces support for fee Hotmail accounts by the way

 

i assume you can use this just for pop3 and hotmail then?

edited to add,


just like express

 

I have my hotmail.co.uk account running through OE6 using the Outlook Connector from the MS website. Takes a bit to setup but I didn't need to pay anything or redirect to get it done.

 

you got a link to that on ms website?

 

outlook does support pop3 yes, but it's a proper full on MAPI client, so is best used with exchange

 

windows live mail beta does this and is nicer to look at aswell!
