HotMail does not have POP3 services. The Outlook programs can be

In the Internet Accounts dialog box, click the Add button.
Select Mail to open the Internet Connection Wizard, and then follow the

Remember, in setting up a Hotmail account, you would set your incoming
mail server in the pull-down menu as: HTTP
