    In OE
    Tools-Accounts-Add(Mail)-Your Hotmail address-> folow setup until completed.

    Note:- this only works with old Hotmail.com accounts, for Hotmail.co.uk you will have to pay annual fees to Hotmail.

    Hotmail does not use pop3, it uses http, make sure you enter your full hotmail address when asked and it will automatically set up your html server for you, & it should look like this
