Thanks Bill and sorry for omitting the version of outlook that I currently
use. I'm using office 2000.

You need the Outlook Connector installed to use Hotmail (if you use a
version of Outlook which supports it which you don't mention) in Outlook.
Yahoo requires a paid POP3 email account.

Check Office Update to download the Outlook Connector.

I am having a hard time getting my outlook to send or receive my emails
from
my accounts. Here is one of the error message I received. "The server
could
not be found. (Account: 'Hotmail Mail'. SMTP Server; 'SMPT', Error Number
0x800ccc0d)."

I also received same message with yahoo with error message 0x800ccc0e

Could it be POP3? does anyone know if yahoo and hotmail is POP3 or what
selection I need to make at the account set-up stage?

What am I doing wrong? Please help.
