Just wondering if it's possible to configure Outlook to receive MSN email instead of having to go into MSN Explorer. I prefer using Outlook and Internet Explorer. MSN Explorer looks too cartoonish and I don't feel like my email belongs to me on my PC, thus a preference for Outlook.

I forgot how I did it, but I found a page where it's described how to do it. I hope it helps. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I would HIGHLY recommend that you do NOT do that. There are way too many security issues with MS Outlook. Even the Magik 8 Ball says so "Outlook not so good!" [img]tongue.gif[/img]
You are better served using the web interface to Hotmail/MSN. If you really want to keep your email local, use a different POP3 client. Netscape/Mozilla have one built in, there is also a stand alone. Eudora is another Pegasas is another. Outlook is just way to vulnerable to all of the worms and viruses out there.

Remember, Outlook and Outlook Express are completely different. As far as I know (and I say this from personal experience), configuring OE to check Hotmail seems to be easy enough and risk free. Trying to get Outlook to do it is a nightmare.
