oh man it depends on the service of emial which you use

the mail service wil tell you !

generally incoming server is pop.server.com
(where server is your email client)

and outgoing is smtp.server.com

(where server is your email client)

earlier hotmails used to gave pop3 access, in fact we just have to creat an hotmail account thru outlook or the details of the account already with hotmail to be given, which was very simple. i am using my 5 yrs old hotmail account with this way, but since it is only for 2 mb ; recently i have created another account but it refused to work with outlook. as far as i know hotmail has stoped such thing.

Hotmail never gave POP3 support. It only provided POP3 emulation. The service remained web-based mail, but it added features to OE/Outlook for Hotmail.

A true POP3 is not email client depedant. It would work with Thunderbird, Incredimail, Eudora, Evolution, Kmail, etc. But hotmail worked only with OE/Outlook. :roll: It was just another trick from the M$ stable :evil:
