Mail with Hotmail

I don't think you can unless your Hotmail account is POP. The free versions, as far as I know, won't work. Could be wrong...

 

Click it. You know you want to.

And while you're on a journey of self-discovery, grasshopper, look here:

For mail can be extended in many other wondrous ways.

 

This is probably that thread you were looking for tikibangout.

You just need to download httpmail. It's a plug in for Mail but it doesn't necessarily work all the time. I think the main problem is with newer Hotmail accounts since Microsoft is trying to make everyone use Outlook now.



Edit: beaten by the mighty mkrishnan.

 

Great minds think alike. I don't know what Mad Jew's and my excuse is, but I just wanted to point that out.

 

Just remembered, I had installed that plugin a while back and couldn't get it to work for the life of me, hope you have better luck with it. I just signed up for a gmail account..

 

Couldn't agree with you more.

 

This is the best solution for tikibangout, because Gmail doesn't have the restrictions that Hotmail does, and Gmail works great with Mail.app.

 

If you want gmail tikibangout, you can check the gmail "pay it forward" thread, or you can PM me and mention this thread.

Do you have details from MSN as to what your server settings are?

How have you been getting your email previously?
