Hotmail and Gmail
Is it possible to set up Vista mail to handle my hotmail account ( and even
my gmail accounts )?

Windows Mail will not handle HTTP mail, only POP3 and IMAP mail. Therefore
no Hotmail.

Answer in newsgroup. Don't expect an answer to email.

Re: Hotmail and Gmail
Windows Mail took out the functionality to check webmail accounts, sorry.

No Hotmail. But it will do Gmail because Gmail has free POP3 access.
You can also setup WinMail for your free AOL/AIM email because
they have free IMAP access.

The instructions are for Outlook Express, same difference.

Re: Hotmail and Gmail
My issue is that I can't even send a message to my hotmail account. Does
this mean that I can't send to anyone using my laptop with Vista? I want to
send emails to Hotmail. That's it! Will it work?

Re: Hotmail and Gmail
Why don't you use Windows Live Mail Desktop?
Works with Hotmail and your Windows Mail accounts.

Re: Hotmail and Gmail
Cal,
I think I heard that WLMD has advertisements that pop up or run in the
system. But I don't know if that will "solve" the problem. I guess I'm just
trying to send emails to hotmail accounts. I can receive all day long. Do
you think it will work? How do I set up something like that? Isn't there a
link to install, but only if it will solve the issue. Thanks, Cal.
Oscar.

Re: Hotmail and Gmail
You should be able to send to Hotmail recipients from WinMail.
