can anyone tell me how can i set up outlook express to use hotmail ..
Man!!..u bring tears to my eyes..Hotmail with Outlook Express is a deadly combo. Really feel for u brother. Sorry cud'nt resist.

I really thought nobody uses hotmail nowadays. None of my friends do. Surprising to see tech savvy people are still using hotmail. Maybe I was underestimating hotmail. Maybe we shud start a poll to see what e-mail people use.

PS: I dont intend to start a flame war. I'm not against hotmail...just that I really thought no one uses it.

One more PS: Regarding your query, yes, you can use Outlook express and configure it to use hotmail account, but it would be safer to use some other email client (say Thunderbird).

To configure hotmail, just add a new e-mail account, give the pop and smtp servers and ports as given in the parent post. Didnt try it, but I dont see any complications.
