![]() Hi there; I want to use MS Outlook 2002 [Office XP] for send/rcv of Hotmail msgs. So what do I put in at the "HTTP server URL" on the account properties? The default URL in does not seem to be working, but it seems editable. And what about Outlook Express 6, if there is a solutoin, is it the same for Outlook Express 6? And what about MSN/GMAIL webmail srvr URL? Thanks much in advance. Ahmed |

MS decided to make free Hotmail accounts created after a specific date, I forget what, inaccessible to Outlook and OE (and other clients). Pay for the service and you should be able to get details to set this up. If you *do* have an old enough account, the HTTP server name is something like this: http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp When you use the account creation wizard, you specify HTTP mail and use your full Hotmail address. the Hotmail pages should show you the details. Gmail pages also show you the precise details for setup, and IIRC have a utility to configure OE for you. http://mail.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?topic=1555 HTH -pk |

The default URL in does not seem to be working, but it seems editable. It's not editable. If you have a free Hotmail account, you won't be able to use Outlook or Outlook Express to read it. You need at leah a Hotmail Plus account (paid). -- Brian Tillman |

AS people redo their machines and lose the old account connection, they are finding that they are now required to pay for Hotmail or MSN access.

My machine had a burp about a week ago and I had to reload windows and Outlook but Hotmail went right back in. I can also access it from any machine via the Internet. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.
