Outlook Adding Email addresses

Hello,

Can someone please help me? I'm trying to add a hotmail.com account.

We have dsl.

I don't know what to choose in the server type. I'm thinking POP3, but I
dont' know if this fits dsl.

Second, if I do choose POP3, I don't know what I should insert for the
INCOMING AND OUTGOING SERVER's for the hotmail.com account. I tried
hotmail.com, but the test was not successful.

Thank you
Steve

You need to have a premium, paid for, hotmail account in order to use
outlook
Is it such & what version of outlook?

Not correct. As long as the OP converts to a Live Hotmail account, he can
install Outlook Connector (Outlook 2003 and above AFAIK) and use a free
hotmail account in Outlook.

If you have outlook 2003 or later, and convert your Hotmail account to a
Live Hotmail account, you can use the Outlook Connector to synch your
Hotmail in Outlook.
get it here:

And, if you have Outlook 2002 (2000 does not support Hotmail accounts) you can use the HTTP option and the server information is automatically completed for you. You still must have a paid Hotmail account for this option to work.
