Outlook Express

Any here know how to set up an msn account in msn? I tried setting it up as hotmail but it didnt work. I figured this would work because you can access msn from hotmail if that makes sense. xxxxx@msn.com for example. Is it POP3 or HTTP?


Thanks


I also tried searching the the website for a solution but it the ones given didnt work

Set up you msn account as normal, but where it asks for your mail servers, use the drag box to select "HTTP", and enter this address into the mail field:

http://oe.msn.msnmail.hotmail.com/cgi-bin/hmdata

You should now be able to receive your msn email (username@msn.com) in Outlook express.

Hope this helps.

If that doesn't work I think its because in order to use hotmails POP servers in OE you have to have a special account with them.
