Outlook Problems

I can't seem to get my hotmail account working with MS Outlook.....I've set it up, following the wizard, clicking on HTTP E-mail type and then entering my e-mail and password, but it always comes up with no messages in the main window and none of my contatacts have been imported either which I find annoying. Does anyone know how to fix this problem??

 

Which Outlook are you using?

And do you pay for that option?

 

I use MS Office Outlook 2003, and no, I don't pay for it and I haven't been prompted to pay to use hotmail with outlook. If I have to, I will switch to something like gmail or yahoo if I have to pay.

 

Check out this link... http://www.slipstick.com/config/ol2000hotmail.htm you don't really have support unless you pay for it. From reading through this you can get mail that way, but have to send mail through the website.

If you are looking for a better one I can invite you to Gmail.

Hope this helps.

 

yeah...hotmail are being a bit annoying. You could send me an invite to gmail, my e-mail should be on my profile. I think I'm gonna switch. And besdies I want to use outlook to it;s full capabilities as it integrates nicely with MS office.
