How do I setup Outlook and or Outlook express to get my msn mail?
 
Tools > E-mail accounts > Add a new account > HTTP, then just put in your settings
 
P.S. This works for Outlook Express only I believe.
 
BTW, this works only if you are Web based for email.

This is for Pop3: MSN E-mail

What are my incoming (POP3) and outgoing (SMTP) mail settings?
If you are using MSN Internet Access software:

Your Incoming mail (POP3) setting is pop3.email.msn.com.
Your Outgoing mail (SMTP) setting is smtp.email.msn.com.
If you are using MSN HighSpeed – DSL:

Your Incoming mail (POP3) setting is pop3.email.msn.com.
Your Outgoing mail (SMTP) setting is secure.smtp.email.msn.com.
If you are using a local area network (LAN):

Your Incoming mail (POP3) setting is pop3.email.msn.com.
Your Outgoing mail (SMTP) setting is secure.smtp.email.msn.com.
If you are using Compaq.Net software:

Your Incoming mail (POP3) setting is pop3.compaq.net.
Your Outgoing mail (SMTP) setting is smtp.compaq.net.
 
is it a hotmail account or an msn account?

i have my hotmail account working in outlook xp.
this is how i did it

1. opened outlook (well duh... lol)
2. went to "Tools", "Email accounts"
3. selected "Add new email account" and clicked next
4. selected "HTTP" and clicked next
5. (hotmail is already selected at right side... change to msn if u use msn)
6. enter in your name, email address, username and password
7. click next/finish (cant remember offhand which it was)

it synchronises all folders to a new folder on my outlook (i think you gotta select "view folders" from the "View" menu to see it - not sure - i always have view folders on)

good luck :)
 
dang MSN acount won't work on OE but works fine on Outlook XP so I got it all working. thanks for the input guys.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
