Hi. I read that MS was considering making hotmail account access available
in the future. Anyone know a timetable for this or how serious the attempt
is to implement this is?

thanks,
david

No timeline or commitment has been released as of yet...

It has been in the works for ages David. A work-a-round is to have a webpage
in your Outlook which goes to hotmail. If you have a permanent connection,
it is almost seamless.

However, it is still just a web page and thus no rules. :(

Would this technique allow you to download mail to your inbox? How
would you put a web page in outlook?

Take a look at this MS KB article for info on setting up a HotMail web page
in Outlook 2000:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q234/7/04.asp

You can also get this article by sending an E-mail with a subject of
"Q234704" (without the quotes) to msh...@microsoft.com.

This link should automate that for you:
mailto:msh...@microsoft.com?subject=Q234704

It doesn't get the mail into your message store, it just shows you the
HotMail page within Outlook's window.

Greetings...
I too am looking to move from OE5 to Outlook 2000, but since hotmail is my
main email source, I stick with OE5.
Your workaround would not work with Palm devices would it?
Also, one obviously has to do several additional steps each time one checks
email..
Obviously, this makes one see all the advertisements at the Hotmail site!!

no, you can't move the mail to the inbox and using the folder homepages is
very slow to render. You can read all your new mail from IE while waiting
for the page to load in OL...
