How do I find the information to setup my Hotmail email (dadude1083@msn.com), on the Mail Application? I dont get what it means by "server type", outgoing server, etc.

Thanks!

If I remember correctly, Hotmail requires users to pay for POP3 access. Have you purchased it yet?

Eric559 is correct.. hotmail requires a Hotmail "Plus" subscription to access POP3...

I would HIGHLY recommend getting a FREE gmail account... it's FREE and fantastic!!!!

Ok, I made the Gmail account. Now what do I put in for the server settings?
