Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I appreciate that you try to configure the hotmail account in Outlook Express.

Please follow the methods.

(a) open your Outlook Express e-mail program.

(b) select the option 'Tools' in the Outlook menu bar. Click on 'accounts '.

(c) choose the option "add a new email account."

(d) market through the Outlook Express e-mail Setup Wizard. During the configuration of the e-mail, you will be asked to enter your e-mail for Hotmail, the password and the Hotmail server settings. To the incoming mail server, enter pop3.live.com. Enter the mail server setting outgoing smtp.live.com. When you are prompted for the "account name", just enter your Hotmail email address.

(e) test your Hotmail account in Outlook Express by sending a test message. This is done by clicking on "New message" and send a message on your behalf to your Hotmail address. Once the message arrives in your Inbox, you will know that your Hotmail account is not working properly
