Default Any workaround to get Hotmail in Outlook Express

My husband has had his Hotmail e-mail address
since it's inception
and hates to give it up just because we now have
Vista.
Anyone know of a way to get Hotmail to work with
Outlook Exp ?
Thanks

Default Any workaround to get Hotmail in Outlook Express

Crossposted to Vista (Windows) Mail newsgroup.

Bubey, you need to post your questions to
microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail newsgroup now that you're running Vista.
Vista doesn't have Outlook Express; your mail client is now Windows Mail.
See
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/pro...ails/mail.mspx

You cannot access Hotmail accounts in Windows Mail.

Bubey, if you need Hotmail access you will need to upgrade
Windows Mail to Windows Live Hotmail:

Oops, I meant Windows Live Mail, not Windows Live Hotmail.

Thanks guys, but it's still web-based e-mail, not
on our
Hard Drive. I am a security freak I guess.
Can I go back to OE 6 on Vista if I want?
(I know, Pa Bear, it's suppose to be in Vista but
I trust your
answers rather than start another post).
Thanks

I agree that technically it is not an upgrade, but I find that calling
it such seems to help non-savvy users understand what installing
WLM does to their PC. I don't have the time or patience to go into
a long-winded explanation.

Non-savvy users, especially those used to OE and who are now encountering
Windows Mail, just want the default mail client to work and to be able to
access their email account(s) in it, period. IMHO such users are not
interested in nor are good candidate for installing another mail client,
especially one that's still in beta.
