what's hotmail's server address??

[Oxymoron]

hi.
sorry, this must sound like a stupid question, but when I'm trying to add an e-mail account in Outlook, and it asks for the incoming and outgoing server address (i.e pop3.whatever.com) I don't have a clue what to enter for hotmail...

I've tried pop.hotmail.com
pop3.hotmail.com
mail.hotmail.com
all to no avail...
please help anyone! I know it can be done..I'm sure I've done it before, just can't remember
also, as well as incoming server address for hotmail, what's the smtp address???

allllllll help appreciated.
thanks y'all!
JoE

As far as I know, hotmail doesn't have a pop3 or smtp server, it is an html based system. You can sign up via Outlook Express 5.5 as it's given as an option in the new accounts, I don't know about Outlook, you may have to add a new service to be able to do it.

I saw a utility that would allow you bring your hotmail account in to any email client. I have no idea if it works, but you can try to locate that. Mike Wills
