Anybody know thw POP settings to retrieve e-mail from the net into Outlook? My Yahoo accounts work fine but Hotmail is a stinker!

There is a set up for hotmail built into outlook express.When you select create new account input the account information and give the hotmail e-mail address it will automatically set up the proper protocols.

It's not possible to retrieve hotmails by programs other than Outlook.

Thanx Dudes done extensive research and found that only Outlook XP allows true POP downloads for Hotmail. All previous versions could retrieve (via a workaround) but not send. I'l stick to Yahoo, a proper mail server. Thanx.

How do I retreive my inbox enteries from hotmail into my yahoo mail? in other words, what is the pop server name for hotmail? Thanks Paul

Hi All: Don't think hotmail supports POP.(at least doen't disclose POP address).However it supports HTTP protocol, so outlook express can be configured to send & receive mail. Ex. outlook express, tools, accounts, mail, add, mail, select your hotmail addrss,select HTTP server, service provider 'hotmail'. Mailserver (incoming & outgoing) will be defaulted to http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp On the otherhand, Yahoo provides incoming and outgoing POP server names. So can be configured on any mail client. select POP protocol, Incoming mailserver: pop.mail.yahoo.com Outgoing mailservre: smtp.mail.yahoo.com Thx Sri
