How to read and send Hotmail in Outlook

If you want to use Microsoft Outlook to connect to your Hotmail account, there are two ways to achive this. If the first one doesn't work, try the second one. (Personally, I think the second method provide more reliable connectivity with hotmail server, but you will need to install a plugin.)

First method

Microsoft Office Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Live Mail already have a functionality to connect to any Windows Live mail accounts (@hotmail.com, @windowslive.com, @msn.com, etc.) It will use an HTTP as a protocol to connect to hotmail server. To read / get and send email from Outlook, follow these steps:

1. Open Microsoft Outlook. Open the menu "Tools" > "Account Settings". This will open a dialog box.


2. Click "New" in "E-mail" tab.
Fill in your name as it will appear on the top of every e-mail message you sent from Outlook later.
Then, fill in your email address such as someone@hotmail.com; follow by your account password.
Uncheck "Manually configure server settings or additional server types", if it is checked.

3. Click Next.
Outlook will try to establish to Hotmail server. If it fail, click retry. After failing twice, it will ask you to provide additional informaion for server settings. Just ignore it, click back to the step 2 above, retype your password and click next again.

Second Method

If the first method doesn't work or Outlook shows a message states that you need to pay for Hotmail Plus to let you use Outlook to access Hotmail, you will need Microsoft Office Outlook Connector.

As describe on Microsoft website
With Microsoft Office Outlook Connector, you can use Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 or Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 to access and manage your Microsoft Windows Live Hotmail or Microsoft Office Live Mail accounts, including e-mail messages and contacts for free!

Follow these steps.

1. If you already add your hotmail account to Outlook, I suggest you should delete it first.
Go to "Tools" > "Account Settings", then click on the email account and click delete.

2. Download and install Microsoft Office Outlook Connector. As of the time I write this article the current version can be found here. Please also check here for newer version. Don't forget to close Outlook before you install Outlook Connector.

3. Restart Microsoft Outlook.

4. Click "Outlook Connector" > "Add a new Account"



5. Fill up your information. Restart Outlook.
