I'm not sure if you can use POP3 with Hotmail. I'm prepared to be proved wrong if anyone knows any differently. If you sign up with googlemail you can definitely use POP3 & SMTP though. Easy to follow instruction for configuring your client are on the googlemail website.

from what i remember, if you add a new addy in OE if its a hotmail one it recognises it as such automatically, and does the biz for you.

Just get a Hotmail address, and then save www.hotmail.com as a bookmark.

Don't bother with Outlook Express...... it's shite.

Speaking of msn, Anyone else found that msn have blocked people from sending YouTube links?

Trouble with webmail is that you have to keep manually checking for mail, I'd rather the pc let me know when it arrives. I use Opera's built in client, set up to play a different sound for each account so I know whether it should divert my attention.
