Accessing hotmail/Windows Live mail through Outlook.

[Hyperlite]

is there a way to access hotmail, or more specifically, windows live mail, through outlook? there is a preset option for hotmail in the email account setup in outlook 2003, but i can't get it to work. mabye the preset url is wrong? Also, would there be any way to access my university email account with NC State through outlook? i tried setting this up as well, but could seem to get it to work. any suggestions?

The ability to use hotmail is outlook 2003 is disabled unless you upgrade.

uhg. i have a windows live account, but it looks like my email is still @hotmail.com...i tried setting the server url to what it appears to be when logging into live, but if input a hotmail address, it keeps setting it back to the hotmail url. so i guess there is no way to do it with live either then. thanks for the info. something is still wierd though, because upgrading is moot with Windows live. i have all those features now free with live....
