hotmail

I can't seem to find the hotmail server name. Does anyone happen to know it? 
Pop access quit working in OE and then in Win Live Mail. When is MS going to 
get it right!?

Thanks,  DK 

Free email services like Hotmail don't have mail servers that you can plug 
into just any email client. They are typically web-only services.

Why? Because they're free. They make money by presenting advertising, or 
links to other sites, along with your email. If they allowed access to any 
other email clients, that advertising would disappear. And so would their 
reason for providing the service.

Hotmail did have an approach that allowed Outlook Express on Windows to 
download email directly - but that's been phased out, as you found.
