I don't see the option to add Hotmail for my e-mail type - I only have IMAP
or POP3 to add - Even tried the registry update for older OE on adding
HTTP - but that didnt work either - Any ideas?

Thanks

About 18 months or so ago, MSFT stopped supporting hotmail and OE. If you
currently use Outlook Express to read your Hotmail, or if you subscribe to
MSN Premium or to Hotmail Plus, you can use Outlook Express to access your
Hotmail.

For about $20 to $50 per year depending upon the service, you can access
these various services. I included Outlook in case you're interested there.

I imagine these services apply to Win Mail. MSFT ain't killin no cash cows
for notin. You should ask in the
microsoft.public.vista.windows.mail group for details. You have Vista. I
assume you have accessed these groups via the one click Windows Help link in
Win Mail. Check out that group and you can search it by tping vista mail
in search. Lots of OE experts, MVPs hang in there.

I believe that what you want is achieved by this:

From Steve Boots MSN MVP:

You can sign up for Windows Live Mail Desktop that has support for
Hotmail/MSN Mail at http://ideas.live.com . I think WLMD only supports MS
Live Mail accounts (and on top of that only Live Mail accounts signed up for
the WLMD beta) MSN and Hotmail accounts not converted to Live accounts are
supported inWLMD Beta, albeit with all the bugs of WLMD Beta.

Do a search in the newsgroup on Vista.Mail for either Hotmail or Steven
Boots.

you can use HotPop to retrieve hotmail in WM.
