How to Configure Outlook Express for Internet Mail
The Internet Service Provider
If your ISP is not AOL, MSN or Hotmail, use the following steps to add and configure a new Internet e-mail account with Outlook Express. First, start Outlook Express:
On the Tools menu, click Accounts.
In the Internet Accounts dialog box, click Add, and then, click Mail.
In the Display Name box, type the name that you want others to see when you send a message, and then click Next.
In the E-mail Address box, type the E-mail address for the account that you are using (i.e. "janedoe@microsoft.com") and then, click Next.
Under E-mail Server Names, click the appropriate Incoming E-mail Server type (Post Office Protocol version 3 [POP3] is the default type), and then, type the names of your Incoming and Outgoing E-mail Servers.
For example, let's say MSN is your ISP. When the Internet Connection Wizard asks for E-mail Server Names...
My Incoming mail server is a pop3 server;
Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP or HTTP) server: pop3.email.msn.com;
Outgoing mail (SMTP) server: smtp.email.msn.com;
NOTE: Your ISP provides this information. If you do not know this information, contact your ISP.
Click Next.
Depending on your logon type, either type your POP account name and password in the POP Account Name and Password boxes, or, click Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SAP). Click Next.
NOTE: Contact your ISP to determine the logon type that you should use.
In the Internet Mail Account Name box, type a name to identify the mail account that you are configuring. This is known as the "friendly" name for the account. Click Next.
Click the connection type that you use to connect to the Internet, and then click Next.
NOTE: This step does not apply to Outlook Express 5.
If you click Use my phone line to connect, you are prompted to either create a new Dial-Up Networking connection or use an existing one.
If Dial-Up Networking has been configured for your ISP:
Click Use an existing dial-up connection,
Click Name for your Dial-Up Networking connection,
And then, click Next.
If you click Connect using my "local area network" (LAN) or "I will establish my Internet connection manually," you are not prompted for any additional settings.
Click Finish.

To setup your MSN based account in Outlook XP, please follow the instructions given below:

2. Under E-mail, click Add a new e-mail account, fill in the following two dialog boxed
3. On the Server Type dialog, select HTTP. Select OTHER as the service provider.
4. Use this as the incoming mail server: http://oe.msn.msnmail.hotm
5. Click Next and then click Finished.

Question: how do you configure Outlook Express for HTTP--not POP or STML? Microsoft tech support gave me an HTTP:// code to use but it did not work.
