Anyone know what the POP3 server and SMTP server is for a Hotmail account?
Thank you, I'd like to set it up using Dreamcast.

You won't be able to do that, because web-based E-mail doesn't use those
servers. Plus, I can't get to my hotmail acct. from my DC anymore! What I
suggest doing, is setting up a Freei.net acct, then using something like

While you can't do it with the Dreamcast, Hotmail accounts are accessible
through Outlook Express 5. The method is "beta" according to MS, but it
works great for me. When I first read about it, I thought I would be free
from advertisements, but alas, when you go to your hotmail accounts through
OE5, it opens a frame at the bottom with an ad. Shucks.

There's something I hope doesn't change with future versions of OE for
Mac. I can access Hotmail accounts with OE 5 but there's no ad frames.
Yay! :)
