Doug,
You can still use a free HotMail acct in Outlook Express or OUTLOOK XP/200X, if
it was created before Sept'01, and you have been actively polling messages since
then. I currently do that right now with a HotMail acct in both Outlook Express
& OUTLOOK2003.

Donna,
If you are using Outlook'03 or Outlook'07 you will need to download a MS Add-in,
called "Outlook Connector", you will need to validate your copy of Outlook:

If you have Outlook Express 6, you will need to upgrade to Windows Live Mail:

When I try to send an email it says Outlook doesn't work with
Hotmail how can
I make Hotmail my default email "sender" sorry not a tech

You can't use hotmail with OE ANYMORE.
If you want to use HOTMAIL you must sign up for Windows LIVE
MAIL.

Google for it.
