I don't think you can, you can use hotmail to get your pop mail, but thats it. I could be wrong, but that was my understnading

Hotmail is accessible via Outlook Express, but it's configured as http: mail, not pop. AFAIK, OE is the only mail software which can be used for hotmail, other than a web browser at www.hotmail.com. Before being bought out by MS, hotmail pop access WAS possible.

vailr's correct. in any case, try creating a new email account with outlook express. 'Tools, New Account Signup, Hotmail' -- you'll find that oe will setup the hotmail settings for you.
