Yes, but you install a plugin. First you have to make sure you are
using one of the new hotmail accounts. To check this out look at the
size limit of your account on the main hotmail page. If it's not 4MEG
then update your hotmail account. It's free. Then download and
install this file. I forget the link you get it from but you can do a
google search on the name.

This might be a stupid question so I'll apologize in advance if it
is. But is it possible to set up my mail client on my Leopard Mac
PB 12 laptop so it gets and receives mail from Hot mail? It
wouldn't work for me. I didn't know the right information, for mail
server, to set it up.
So I tried my gmail account and it worked immediately without
another question. It was very fast and easy. But I use my hotmail
acct more for chit chatting online in groups. So I'd rather set it
up with hot mail instead of gmail.
Does anyone here use hot mail?
I was using vo with hotmail from the online site in my bookmarks,
and had no trouble, except when it came to replying to a message and
deleting a message I had read. VO would not go to the row of
buttons to do those things. I found it with the mouse. Once I'd
replied to a message, send was completely accessible, as was the new
button, to compose a new message. So it was partially accessible to
vo. That makes me think its me not doing something right.
A blind friend on another list suggested that if I set it up in my
mail client that it would probably resolve those problems. but I
couldn't set it up. I don't know the mail server information.
mail.live.com did not work.
thanks for the help.
Mildly frustrated,
janet
