Using Outlook and Hotmail together

Someone told me that it is possible to set up your outlook
account to work through the hotmail server, so that you
can utilize the features of outlook without having to have
(and give) access to your secure server. Is this true? If
so, are there any special tricks to getting it done?
Any info would help me and thousands of students who
aren't able to learn Outlook in courses because of server
issues!!
Thanks!
 
There is a way and it is very easy! This will work with
Outlook 2002 and I think 2000 also.

Go to Tools > Email Accounts > Add new email account >
Select HTTP > Enter your name and email address. Since
you have Hotmail, it should already be selected in the
dropdown menu on the upper right. Under User Name, enter
your email address ([email protected]) and your password
in the space provided. Check "Remember Password", if you
want and check "Log on using SPA"

Optional: Under "More Settings" you can name you account.
For example, if you have two hotmail accounts, you can
have one say "Personal Mail" and the other "Business
Mail". Click OK

Click Next then Finish. You may have to restart Outlook.
You're now ready to send/recieve messages with hotmail
through outlook. (Hit F9 or Send/Receive)
