don't flame me for this, but how do i set up outlook email.

i have a hotmail account and a website account

the real question is on the outgoing mail/incoming mail setup page. what address or url do i use for hotmail? is it mail.hotmail.com or is it www.hotmail.com.

and is it the same for outgoing mail.

obviously i'm no genius. could use some help please.

thanks.

For Outlook you will need the pop and smtp addresses. I don't believe that you can get hotmail in Outlook. I could be wrong but that's what I remember.

You can. You don't add a pop or imap account you add an HTTP account.

Sweet. I'll remember that for next time I'm asked...
