I currently use Hotmail as my email. I want to use Microsoft Outlook, but I am not sure what settings to use. Can any help on the what I need in the POP Server and on the in coming and out going entries.
 
I've checked into POP3 from some of these free providers and what I've found is it's usually too costly for them to provide POP3 access to the millions of addresses. I'm able to get my yahoo email via POP3 to Outlook but I had to pay an annual fee for that feature. Of course my dialup ISP (and I assume my broadband ISP also) will gladly "POP3 me".
My rule of thumb - if it's hard to find info on POP3 on their website ... then it's most likely not available.

FYI - you can always contract a hosting company for your email ... even register your own unique URL.
