| | Setting up Hotmail address I have Visa home Premium and tried to set up a hotmail.com account. When ever I try to access it, the system confirms that I have set one up, but I cannot see how to get into the main send/receive page. I am diverted to Windows Live Mail with the only option being to log out. Can anyone help please? |

| | Re: Setting up Hotmail address We really don't know what or how you are trying... You can't access a Hotmail account with Windows Mail. You can access your Hotmail with a browser, like Internet Explorer 7 or Firefox http://login.live.com You can access Hotmail with the newer Windows Live Mail (desktop program). http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview There is a newer version of Hotmail, named Windows Live Hotmail (browser only). http://get.live.com/mail/overview "mikemaber" <mikemaber.33103j@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:mikemaber.33103j@xxxxxx Quote: > > I have Visa home Premium and tried to set up a hotmail.com account. > When ever I try to access it, the system confirms that I have set one > up, but I cannot see how to get into the main send/receive page.

| | Re: Setting up Hotmail address Windows Mail will not allow you to set up a hotmail account. Windows Live Mail, however, will, so you have two options: a) continue to access hotmail from hotmail.com (or .co.uk) b) use windows live mail to access all your email accounts. -- -- John Barnett MVP Associate Expert Windows - Shell/User Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".

| 32bit | Re: Setting up Hotmail address If Outlook Express was replaced by Windows Mail, then why can't I use it to download and read Hotmail? It is my main email, and I can't believe there is no way for it to work. After all, Hotmail is a Windows product!!! Can anyone explain this to me? |

| | Re: Setting up Hotmail address Because Microsoft took that functionality out of Windows Mail to get everyone to use Windows Live Mail. Hotmail is not the only email provider which cannot be used with Windows Mail. All HTTP mail servers are the same. Personally all I use Windows Mail for nowadays is downloading newsgroups. -- -- John Barnett MVP Associate Expert Windows - Shell/User Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".

| | Re: Setting up Hotmail address You should be able to get as many Live Mail/Hotmail addresses as you want.. however, you can't access them with Windows Mail, you will need to use a browser or the Windows Live Mail program. -- http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview "mikemaber" <mikemaber.33a9it@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:mikemaber.33a9it@xxxxxx Quote: > > Mainly I am using Windows Mail.
