Accessing Hotmail in Mail

[untz]

Hello,

I have G4 PowerBook and was using Entourage but now have decided to use Mail. I run OS X 10.4 Tiger and am wondering how can I access my Hotmail address via Mail?

Also, how can I manually add in contacts to my Address book in Mail?

Thanks!

you need to get the httpmail plugin version 1.45 for tiger go here:

Ok... I successfully installed this... What do I specify for the "Incoming Mail Server"? It recognizes httpmail but I don't have the faintest idea of what to put for the "incoming mail server".

I use msn, not hotmail but essentially they are the same so:
My incoming mail server is: mail.msn.com, Yours may be: mail.hotmail.com
My outgoing is: smtp.email.msn.com, Yours may be smtp.email.hotmail.com

hotmail.com should be enough...

I downloaded this httpmail plug-in several days ago, and everything worked!

Today, I installed some automatic updates, and when I restarted my computer and clicked on Mail, it stated:

"The httpmail plug-in doesn't work with this version of Mail."

It also removed the Hotmail account from Mail. Has anyone else experienced this? It seems like this update from Apple was the cause to my problem.

Any suggestions, help, tips, etc. will be most appreciated!

With thanks,
