Someone mentioned that its possible to use a hotmail account from
Outlook Express. Is this so, and how? Thanks.

Just add the account, tools/accounts. However, MS only allows it for paid
account and/or older free ones.

Thanks for that...can u expand a bit?...what do you mean paid
account?...do you mean paid Internet provider?...in our case Orange (I
didn't knw it was possible to have an unpaid account)...or do you mean
paid for Hotmail..or paid to MS?
Cheers.

Just try to add it. If it fails you're not eligible. The paid part may not
be the case for Hotmail, I may have confused it with Yahoo Mail.

For new MSN Hotmail accounts, created after Sept. 26, 2004, and for old
MSN Hotmail accounts never used with MS Outlook Express prior to that
date, the only way to add a Hotmail account to MSOE is to pay $19.95 per
month for MSN Hotmail Plus.

For Yahoo! Mail accounts in the 'yahoo.com' domain, since about April,
or May, 2004, POP3/SMTP access has required a Yahoo! Mail Plus account
for $19.99 per year. So far, free accounts in other countries, domains
such as 'yahoo.co.ca', 'yahoo.co.jp', and 'yahoo.co.uk', only require a
subscription to "Yahoo! Delivers" for POP3/SMTP access.
