open up outlook express, click on Tools, Accounts, Mail Tab; click on Add button on the right, select Mail; this will ask you to type a display name you'd like, then click Next; type in your email, like myemail@hotmail.com, click Next; in the line "My incoming server is a.." select HTTP from the pull down menu; below that "My HTTP mail service provider is...select Hotmail from the pull down menu; click Next; for the Account Name, type in your complete hotmail email address again & below that your hotmail password; might as well put a check on the box "Remember my Password", click Next and then Finish.

it might be very possible that you cant access email at the moment because of server downtime.  Just wait 10-20 min, and maybe the server will be back up.  If you continue to get fed up, I would recommend you to switch over to google mail (gmail).  Its free and its wonderful, and you can receive notifications when you receive mail.  Dont worry though, your hotmail account wont go to waste.  You can have all mail sent to the hotmail account, automatically transfered/forwarded to your new gmail account (so all the people who have your old email wont lose you).

Hello\n\nShe might have used up all the space provided for her email account. Ask her to check her mail box maximum size and the current size that she is using. If she is using up all the space then she needs to delete some emails before she can receive others.\n\nHope this helps :)\n\n-------------------------\n\nI checked out that domain name. The free email they allowed me was 5MB :-( (maybe the other email account offers her more). Is she an Orange mobile customer?. If so she might have signed in for a POP3 account. In that case she might be reading her mails from the computer using a mail client (Eg: Microsoft Outlook or Thunderbird) or a mobile phone. If this is true then she might have deleted the emails on her computer or mobile phone which obviously wont delete the emails on the server. So you must try deleting the emails on the server. This can be done by using a web browser (Eg: Internet Explorer). Go to http://www.orange.co.uk/ using a web browser. Type in your email address and password int the box "your email" (to the right). After signing in check the quota progress bar. And delete all the emails that she does not want. One more thing, the mail clients like Outlook Express downloads a local copy to the computer and may or may not be configured to delete the original copy from the server. In your case I think it was not configured :-(. In simple words you can save all the emails you want, if you are using an email client by just downloading a local copy on to the computer (no need of deleting the local copy since you need to delete it only when you exceed your disk space) but you must regularly delete the server copy (only if you don't use the web browser to access the email from other places than your home) since it may exceed the quota.\n\nHope this helps :-) and I didn't confuse you.

check your account settings, assuming you are using outlook, go to tools, accounts and in there you will find your account name. check to make sure you have a defined mail server in your outgoing server box\n\neg\n\nmail.hotmail.com     or similar\n\nfailing this, call your ISP support number who can walk you thru your settings

check the location you are downloading this file to, and make sure if it is an .exe file, you go back once it's downloaded and doubleclick on it to install it.  Otherwise, it won't do a thing to help your computer.  As far as making yahoo your default email provider, is this for Outlook?  Check out the following information and link:\n\n"The ability to access Yahoo! Mail via a POP3 email client (such as Outlook or Outlook Express) is only available to customers of our premium Yahoo! Mail Plus service. \nIf you have not purchased the Yahoo! Mail Plus service, you will be unable to retrieve messages via an email client. To determine whether or not you have purchased this service, please visit the My Services page. "\n\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/pop-40.html\n\nThere are links on this yahoo mail FAQ page for most email client software programs.\n\nGood luck.

DON'T USE OUTLOOK EXPRESS.\n\nSorry, it is really bad and very prone to viruses.  Using Yahoo's web based e-mail only.  It's got everything you need for e-mail including spell check, calendar, addresses, anti-virus and anti-spam.  And, it never will loose your data, like can happen with OE if you computer dies.  I speak from many many years of support and experience.

Different e-mails are assigned to different hotmail servers by default. What this means is, whilst hotmail may work for some users, it may not work for others.\n\nI presume it's simply a problem with one of their servers, it happens every now and then. A lot of the time you'll get an error saying the server is too busy.

Relax!!! Okay, Firt go into OUTLOOK and CLck on tools, then accounts. After u enter the basic stuff, it'll ask u for the pop3 and smtp servers. Quite simply:pop3 is incoming, smtp is out going mail. THose servers are the same ones for your internet provider. WHen u signed up u sould have gotten a print-out and and/or a letter with those servers. Enter your internet providers pop3 and smtp addresses and your ID/email. THese directions work for version 2000 but 2003 MAY vary. To find out which kind u have, open the program. It will say as it loads. If u have XP than u either have version XP or 2003, depending on when u bought your computer. I'm not sure what the exchange server is, but ignoring is safe. To find out what the server is I'd use Web Help in the Help& Support program. Chances are that the exchange server isn't important unless you have whatever microsoft offers. AS for personalizing, those options are yours and have no major affect on outlook.

hotmail.com doesn't work? Check to see if its not blocked by any programs or some weird proxy thing. You can try setting up outlook or download mozilla thunderbird and set up a POP3 to download the emails into your computer. Maybe your username or password got changed. I need more information to help you.

Do you know what these mails contain? I would disable the SMTP server you are using and use another SMTP server.\n\nFor example, my POP3 server is Yahoo, which is my imcoming, but I use my Hotmail SMTP server to send mail.

Hmm, \n\nFirst, what is the way your friend sends you emails... Does he use Yahoo / Hotmail / Gmail / Aol etc or is he using an email cleint like Outlook express.\n\nOnce we figure out he's doing it right, we'll find out why you aren't able to see it. \n\nTo find out if he's attaching the file in the correct manner, view the link below.\n\nP.S. Some email services wouldn't allow their users to attach mp3s for security and anti-piracy laws.

You cannot set up your hotmail into your MAIL, just like you couldn't set up your hotmail account into any other mail program, like OUTLOOK or EUDORA. I tried with my yahoo account, but couldn't. So I kept one email address for purchasing on the internet (so all SPAM would go to one account) and the one I use in MAIL, I use for friends/family, etc. \n\nWho is your internet service provider? If it is, say, Verizon, call and set up an email account yourname@verizon.com (set up a password) and then go to MAIL PREFERENCES and in ACCOUNTS fill in your username and the incoming and outgoing mail servers (i.e. smtp.verizon.com and mail.verizon.com) as provided by your ISP.

Hi Bikerangelmom.\n\nI think that in order to check your email with either email provider that you have to pay a subscription price for a premium service in order to use them from Outlook or Outlook Express.  'Yahoo! Mail users can read their email in Outlook Express by subscribing to the Yahoo! Mail Plus service"\n\nMSN or hotmail is http:  Accessing your Hotmail account with Outlook Express, available for subscribers of MSN Hotmail Plus.\n\nBoth have a mail plus offer.  It used to be free but not anymore.  Sorry...

Dependant upon a few things.\nTo start...\nA: is your Internet Connection is working.\nB: what mail server you are trying to connect to.\nC: is outlook express setup to download messages.\nD: is outlook express setup as POP or IMAP?\nE: Does the mail server you're trying to access allow POP or IMAP configurations.

The Hotmail service has announced that they have a higher volume of traffic than normal at the moment, and that normal service will be resumed shortly. It could be that they have been caught out by a spammer?  Got the following:       We are experiencing higher than normal volume and are therefore unable to service your request at this time. Try one of the following:\nIn your browser, click Refresh \nIn your browser, click Back, and try again \nWait a few minutes and try again \n We apologize for this inconvenience
