I'm trying to setup my hotmail on the outlook 2003. I followed the
instructions in the help using http option. I got error # 0x800CCCF6 saying
that I have to sign up a new hotmail account because the one I'm using is
invalid which is not true. Can you help me please solving this problem?

Is it a free Hotmail account? Most free Hotmail accounts cannot be used
with Outlook.
 
yes.. it's a free account .. but i don't think this really matters ..
 
It matters if you want your mail in Outlook or Outlook Express!

oh .. really? i never knew that .. so i can't setup my hotmail on the outlook?
and what about the gmail and yahoo?
 
Gmail is free to set up, Yahoo!Mail requires a paid account to use in Outlook/Outlook Express, as does Hotmail.
