Outlook e-mail

[jayson]

I know this is a REALLY stupid question :oops: , but for outlook e-mail,
do you have to have a special e-mail, or can you use a hotmail account for it? I've never even touched that part of outlook :oops: :oops: I don't know anything about Outlook Mail, so could you give me some helpful pointers? :oops: And when you get your e-mail configured, you can sync it to your ppc right? :oops:

Thanks so much. I know this is probably the most stupid question, and i'm kinda curious to use it on my ppc! :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

Thanks again!

Access your MSN Hotmail account from Microsoft Outlook
To protect our users from the increasing amount of unsolicited junk e-mail or spam sent from MSN Hotmail accounts through Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express, we have reluctantly had to restrict the new use of Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express to subscribers.

If you use Microsoft Outlook 2002 or 2003, you can set up a separate Inbox for your Hotmail account within Outlook. This option is currently available for Microsoft Windows operating systems only.
In Outlook, click the Tools menu, and then click E-mail Accounts.
Click Add a new e-mail account, and then click Next.
Click HTTP, and then click Next.
Type your user and sign-in information, and then make sure Hotmail is selected as the HTTP Mail Service Provider.
