Welcome, Phate.

Just open Mozilla Mail, and right click in the inbox section on the left (the white space), and select 'properties'. You should have access to your account settings.

Hope this helps.

I never knew Hotmail has POP3, and to my knowledge, they don't.

Hmm, When I Right-Clicked on the Inbox on the left upper white box type deal, A properties window came up. It has a tab named General Info, but i know where to switch regular settings. If hotmail doesnt use POP3, what else do they use? (not sarcasm, i really like to learn stuff ) Either way, I just need the server address for mozilla mail.

Yeah, I agree, but everyone i know uses hotmail, and i hate AIM worse than msn. I wouldnt have a way to communicate with everyone, unless you can jack other mail adresses into msn.

Try this:

But it's a little hard to install though...

They have no POP3 server.  They do have an SMTP server though.  As you would guess, since otherwise they could not receive mail.

Doesn't HotMail have an option to forward all your messages to another address? I have my e-mail at planet-save.com, saving the rainforest with every e-mail.
