Setting up Mail?

Is it possible to set up my hotmail account to open when I access the Mail icon on my Macbook? If so, how?

I've also forgot my password to my mac.com account. Never really messed around with it. Is it possible to recover it or change it somehow?

Yes to hotmail. Google it or use the search function of these forums. Been covered many times.

No idea on the password. I'm willing to bet Google or searching the forums will also cover that one.
