Issue:
How do i configure Outlook Express to retrieve Hotmail e-mail?

Solution:

1. If you do not already have a Hotmail account, go to the following Hotmail Web site and sign up for an account:

   http://www.hotmail.com

2. Start Outlook Express, and then click Accounts on the Tools menu.
3. Click Add, and then click Mail.
4. In the Display name box, type your name, and then click Next.
5. In the E-mail address box, type your Hotmail address, and then click Next.
6. Click HTTP in the My incoming mail server is box. If Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is not an available choice, you are using an earlier version of Outlook Express that does not support Hotmail.
   
   To upgrade your version of Outlook Express, view the following Microsoft Update Web site:

   http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

7. In the My HTTP mail service provider is box, click Hotmail.

9. In the Account name box, type your Hotmail account name.
10. In the Password box, type your password, click Next, and then click Finish.
    Your new account appears on the Mail tab of the Internet Accounts dialog box.
