The thread seems to have drifted away from your original question.
Yes, you can use Outlook for Hotmail. If your Hotmail account is working on Outlook Express, then I suspect it will also work on Outlook. Mine does.
Try this:[list=1][*]Open Outlook[*]From the menu click Tools, then Email accounts[*]In the resulting window, under the Email heading, click the "Add a new email account" button, then click Next [*]In the resulting window click the HTTP button, then Next[*]In the resulting screen fill in the details asked for. If you need explanation use the "?" button in the top right of the window. Also browse the More Settings button. Outlook seems to set reasonable defaults there, but it may be worth checking. [*]Click Next[*]Click Finish[/list=1]
