Outlook 2000 & Hotmail

[Tezdread]

Hi is there any way to configure Outlook 2000 so that I can download email from Hotmail?

I think I did this in express but can't seem to find out how to do it in Outlook 2000?

Cheers

Hi,

By my knowledge this is not possible in Outlook 2000. MS promotes Outlook 2002 because this program has a similar feature as Outlook Express: Reading your hotmail.

I hope this helps,

Dear Tezdread,

One way to do this is upgrade to Office XP or Outlook 2002, this has built in Hotmail support similiar to that of Outlook Express.

Otherwise, you can do what I used to do is download via Outlook Express and import the messages to Microsoft Outlook. However, there appears to be a bug that you loose access to the smtp address, i.e. in that you cannot access the senders address to reply back too. wierd!

The work around I did was to embed the messages in Outlook express and send them to an account that my Outlook picks up and drag the embedded messages to my inbox to keep the smtp addresses live. A lot of work, but I got used to it, but no longer with Outlook 2002.

Kind regards
