Entourage With Hotmail UK

[nirvana]

Ive successfully managed to configure my normal hotmail account easily in entourage however when I try with my hotmail.co.uk address it doesn’t recognise it nor can I add it manually because its HTML not IMAP or POP, any ideas on if its possible maybe im doing something incorrectly?

What's the dif between "normal hotmail" and hotmail.co.uk? I only know of Hotmail & the paid upgrade ... is this what you mean?

I notice when I sign into Hotmail that there's an ad for me to sign up for Windows Live Hotmail with 2Gb of storage ....

when signing up to hotmail in the UK you get an option to have a hotmail.com or hotmail.co.uk address i chose hotmail.co.uk and entourage doesn't recognize it when creating a new account and it doesn't give me the option to manually enter the settings for a HTML email address.

I was only able to find info regarding Hotmail.co.uk & Mail.app ...

Upgrade your hotmail account to hotmail plus (currentl £14.99 per year)
Download the HTTPMail Plugin and install
Open Apple Mail and create a new account using the following settings:
Account Type: httpmail
Account Description: Whatever you like
Full Name: Your name
Email Address: [email protected]
Incoming mail server: hotmail.co.uk
User Name: [email protected]
Password: Your password

I use the above (Clicky)Plug-In to access my Hotmail account through Mail.app without any probs.

I'm still looking for an Entourage equivalent BTW.

.:EDIT:.

I just remembered that if your Hotmail.co.uk address is newish them you won't be able to access it through Entourage OR Mail.app or any. Support for this has been stopped on new Hotmail Accounts.

Reading in Style -- The ability to display the styled text and graphics in HTML e-mail is increasingly important. Entourage, Eudora, Mail, Mulberry, Netscape, PowerMail, and QuickMail Pro support HTML display; the rest make you open HTML messages in your Web browser.

The issue may be your account is one of the new ones??
