Hey. Does anyone know the settings for the POP and SMTP servers for Hotmail? I'd like to manually add the servers because if I use HTTP mail, Outlook will create a separate "Hotmail Inbox". I would like to have all the mail going into the single Inbox. If someone has a way to get the Hotmail messages to go into the regular Inbox, that would be cool also. Thanks in advance.

i did that, but many times it couldn't connect to the hotmail servers.....

I checked the help file in outlook for info on how to do it....I may have also checked the help files on the hotmail site...

I haven't tried this with the Hotmail provider but you should be able to create a rule in the rules wizard to move any mail in the Hotmail\Inbox to your real inbox whenever it is received.

Argh...I guess I'll just stick with MSN Messenger. Hotmail in Outlook takes too long to load...:|

Thanks for the replies guys.
