Outlook..

[Kjz99z28]

So.. is it possible to run a hotmail account or a school/university account through outlook express? Can you even run more than one address at the same time? Just curious, cause I use both often, and I have no idea how to use it for either. If it's even possible.

go to tools, email account, add email account, http server etc.... you might have to hit send/receive to get email from hotmail though and the university would be the same

*edit, yes you can run both at the same time just do the above twice

One of the things I haven't figured out yet in the new MS 2007 Office System with Vista is the doggone Outlook ... so I need to get it togther and get back on this ....

K thanks! I have one more question though.. if I get mail through a .edu address.. I guess that's classified as an HTTP account? If so.. is the server URL just the main page?

the new outlook is different on the new vista systems? we use xp professional or shome shit here at work

just the main page, if you had a hotmail account you'd use http://www.hotmail.com

ummm i sounded kinda smart till you asked this, but yes i think it would be the main page after you log into your email account

.edu would still be http for sure

I'm using XP right now so it's working like you said for me. I'm going to be getting a new comp soon though with Vista. Hopefully it's not tooooo much different (Outlook...not the whole system)

just the main page, if you had a hotmail account you'd use http://www.hotmail.com

Thanks!

It's apparently much easier to use just like anything Vista and the MS 2007 Office System is just plain *ti*ts* easy, elegant and hi-po ...

Vista and MS Office 2007 is so friendly that I've become a derelict lazyazz enduser and have no need for Outlook yet ...

... and I've forgotten anything XP ....

I can't wait til get the new laptop, so I'm glad you like Vista. I'm ready to be done w/ XP

Outlook 2007 works very well. I have four email accounts, (three pop and one local Exchange) and they all work seamlessly and are completely automated.

Outlook Express has been replaced by Windows Mail and ships with Vista. Outlook Express was a pain in the butt program in my opinion. I have not done anything with Windows Mail as all my clients run Outlook.

So does this Windows Mail do the same things as Outlook?

Vista is not a very good operating system. (just my opinion)
Ill never switch over, unless it free. lol. (I use XP Pro SP2)

(the vista operating system is too much like a Mac OS in too many ways.)
It also hogs up resources on the computer a ton.

Yeah.. but since I'm ordering a new laptop it's not like I have much choice. I, however, am very tired of XP for some reason
