I can use my old email from yahoo but my main one is hotmail. I need to find out the following to get it to work

incoming host server:

host name?
username?
password?

Outgoing mail sever

host name??
username??
password??

there is also the choice of IMAP or POP. any ideas?

You need to upgrade your Hotmail account to Hotmail Plus I think, but try these anyway....

Incoming Mail Server:
Host Name: pop3.live.com
User Name: your full Hotmail email address
Password: your Hotmail password

Outgoing Mail Server:
Host Name: smtp.live.com
User Name: your full Hotmail email address
Password: your Hotmail password
