I want to set up my msn email account in Outlook 2003 client. I am not able to find the right set up. I follow microsoft ones and some other that I found on expert exchange as well, but niether of them did work fine. <br />
Is there a diversity in opinion about the set up and if msn/hotmail accounts can or can't be configured in Outlook. <br />
Could somebody clarify the settings or give some light into that.<br />
<br />
Thank you.

How  to configure an MSN email account on Outlook 2003

Interactions between email servers and clients are governed by email protocols. The three most common email protocols are POP, IMAP and MAPI. Most email software operates under one of these (and many products support more than one).  The correct protocol must be selected, and correctly configured, if you want your email account to work.

Email Protocols

Microsoft Outlook is a personal information manager from Microsoft, available as a part of the Microsoft Office suite. Although often used mainly as an email application, it also includes a calendar, task manager, contact manager, note-taker, journal, and web browser.
