A bit more to it......If you don't know the address, it won't do any good. Copy/paste
is the easiest way.
1. In Outlook Express, on the "Tools" menu, click "Accounts".
2. In the "Internet Accounts" dialog box, click the "Add" button.
3. Click "Mail" to open the Internet Connection Wizard, and then follow the instructions
to configure your existing Hotmail account. You need only your Hotmail sign-in name
and password.
Incoming and Outgoing >

UNCHECK - my server requires authenication

That's interesting. Maybe that's an older setup? The address I posted was given to
me by MSN recently. I have internet service through my local phone co., but MSN is
my tech support. A woman there gave me the address I posted. It actually works! :)

It doesn't do everything for you, you need the incoming and outgoing address. There's
nowhere in OE that it tells you that. Of course, he knows his own email address.
duh! I hope so.

If you are using IE/OE 6 on Win XP ,it will setup
everything automatically when you run the Wizard
as I described....
All you need are your Hotmail address and password.
No need to put in any addresses of servers at all.

Dunno what version YOU'RE using ,but I just ran the
wizard and it DOES do everything for you.....
All I had to type in was my Hotmail account name ,
and my Password and the name I wanted to
show as being from....
It automatically sets up everything and downloads
the folders....
