  • Hotmail and Outlook Express

    Can I set up Outlook Express (Not Outlook itself) to collect my Hotmail emails?

    I seem to remember doing this a few years ago, but I can't seem to get it working now.

    Have they changed the Hotmail settings to prevent people from doing this?

      Hi Dave,

      many thanks for that link, one of my settings was wrong

      Unfortunately I am now getting a message "Hotmail no longer allows email access via Outlook Express for free email accounts."

      so I guess that's a No then :(

      (its a free Hotmail addy, not one of the super-duper Live accounts you have to pay for

        have been googling....

        apparently there is a utility out there called FreePOPs that will allow me to do this. has anyone any experience of it - is it safe? where's a safe place to get it from?
