    Hi there. Anyone know how I can make Outlook Express collect my Hotmail on the college network? I can do it on a dial-up, but not in college... Many thanks.

    Outlook Express can only collect from hotmail if you have hotmail plus, the version of hotmail which costs money.
    The only way to collect Free Hotmail now is by Internet Browser.

    Also..move to Thunderbird! I was an avid OE user for years, but I recently converted, and I'd never go back to my sinful ways. Praise the Mo!

    Not true... they just changed their policy recently so if you newly try to set it up it won't let you; I've been picking it up from Outlook Express for years and it's extremely handy.

    it would be a bit strange if Microsoft didn't allow interoperability with one of their own programs - still it is Microsoft

    Mmm, they're trying to switch people over to the paid account. Most seem to be going to Gmail though. Any thoughts on how to defeat that firewall then?
