can anyone help on how to set up an outlook express client to receive hotmail ?
wife is trying to set it up on her newish laptop. i've never had a hotmail account so not sure where/what settings are needed for hotmail ?
i thought used a browser for it, but its something to do with wanting to snyc stuff with a new tablet phone she's bought....
Sorry, I don't use Hotmail, but a quick Google search finds this:

thanks simon i found something on microsoft.com that i tried but it was talking about selecting HTTP as the server and then it populated other fields itself but did not work.
will read yours and try it out !
I think, when you're setting it up, there will be an option in OE to configure a Hotmail account, which will use default settings anyway.
yours worked !!! awesome thanks !
the one from microsoft was telling me so set the incoming server at http. this gave errors.
your link has worked and its downloading her 3000+ mails lol :o
