Isn't there a way I can get my MS Outlook Express to download my hotmail in addition to my gmp email?

Nope.

The Microsoft interface won't allow you to do that because of the money. Hotmail is a free service that is funded by advertisements---if you download the e-mails to your Outlook, then those advertisements aren't reaching you, and Hotmail doesn't get paid.


There might be a way to set up your hotmail account to auto-forward all e-mails to your GMP account, though...

i don't think there is a way to do that; i looked into it once before. Now, if you have MSN as your provider, and use that AOL-like interface they have (think it's called MSN Explorer), you can get your hotmail there). But MSN Explorer limits your incoming/outgoing file sizes, which is why I dumped it. :ohwell:

There is a way you can do that.

In outlook 2002 click Tools... then options...mail setup...email accounts...u wanna add a new email account.... then next... and the server type would be http ..... next... then enter your info and that should work :biggrin:
