Is it absolutely impossible to get Hotmail through Outlook 2000? Any known work-arounds besides associating a folder with the sign-in web page?

According to Q article Q234704 there is no way besides the one you have mentioned.

Yeah, unfortunately, I saw the same article, but was hoping that some of us techies had come up with some sort of clever work-around. Thanks anyway!

If Outlook is the email only then you are not able to go through the proxy configuration to receive email.

Some of the users I support are interested in getting their Hotmail accounts imported into thier Outlook client. Since I have Proxy configured to give them Internet access, they will just have to do with accessing Hotmail that way. Thanks anyway!

Haven't checked in a while (frankly, because it's easier just to log onto Hotmail) but Hotmail used to allow this but it was a pay service. Once the POP3 service was paid you could set up the incoming server as mail.hotmail.com. As for a workaround for paying, I don't know of any. Sorry but I hope this helps a little. -Corey Hitchcock
