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.

You question the worthiness of my code? I should kill you where you stand!
Indentation?! - I will show you how to indent when I indent your skull!
What is this talk of 'release'? Klingons do not make software 'releases'. Our software 'escapes' leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.
Klingon function calls do not have 'parameters' - they have 'arguments' - and they ALWAYS WIN THEM.
Debugging? Klingons do not debug. Our software does not coddle the weak.
A TRUE Klingon Warrior does not comment on his code!
Klingon software does NOT have BUGS. It has FEATURES, and those features are too sophisticated for a Romulan pig like you to understand.
You cannot truly appreciate Dilbert unless you've read it in the original Klingon.
Our users will know fear and cower before our software! Ship it! Ship it and let them flee like the dogs they are!

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.
