Outlook Express / MSN

[Kurt Steiner]

How can I transfer all of my e-mail from my msn account
(or hotmail) into my Outlook Express (V.6)?

MSN (na...@msn.com): http://supportservices.msn.com/us/oeconfig/

Post back if you need this for a Hotmail (na...@hotmail.com) account. The
configuration is not the same.

For your MSN address in Outlook Express

Click on tools
Accounts
Add\Mail
Enter the display name (next)
Enter the address <user...@msn.com> (next)
Choose incoming server is HTTP
My HTTP provider is Other
Server address--http://oe.msn.msnmail.hotmail.com/cgi-
bin/hmdata (next)
Enter the address <user...@msn.com>
Enter the password
Check the box to remember password
Check the box to log on using secure password
authentication (next) (finish)
Close interntet accounts

When setting OE for a hotmail address, it is preset after
the address has been typed in. Just make sure the last
few steps are followed.

Enter the address <user...@hotmail.com>
Check the box to remember password
Check the box to log on using secure password
authentication (next) (finish)
Close interntet accounts

IE/OE6 users may need to do more than this. (Yes, OK, "YMMV.")
