Any suggestions ?

Re: hotmail accounts

my hotmail recently starts doing some glitches...
like removing a couple of e-mails, then click back to inbox, and they appear again.

Hotmail uses IMAP so you cant connect to it via an Email Client... though Outlook has settings in it that will let you connect via the Client

Oh cool, thx, didnt know that. And what u have to tell Outlook to get it work, an Imapserveraddress ? I use Mozilla-thunderbird, it also can handle Imap.
Isnt Imap just a replacement for pop3 and u still need smtp ?

Re: hotmail accounts

Outlook 2003 is real easy to set up for hotmail... when you create a new account, there's an option for HTTP email. Click it and select Hotmail from the dropdown, provide your username and password, and you're all set.

no, IMAP isnt another replacement of POP3, its a completely different protocol, since POP3 is for incoming, SMTP is for outgoing, however IMAP handles all emails (incoming and outgoing) on its own.... it doesnt need SMTP (more like wont work with it)

Re: hotmail accounts

microsoft announced earlier this year that they will start charging people who use outlook express to check their hotmail. don't know what happened since then.

Re: hotmail accounts

just a rumor, there is no reason to start charging.... there is no cost to use it because its not a uniqe feature.... since they already charge for Outlook 2003, I dont see what additional cost they are incurring to use the feature
