Many times Outlook Express will not work getting internet e-mails - like Yahoo unless you subscribe to their preferred accounts. If hotmail allows this, go to the hotmail site under mail options and it should give you what their server name is.... It's not just hotmail.com..... there will be a 'pop-server' type thing you plug into that in Outlook Express. First make sure it's not a 'paid' thing from hotmail. Outlook Express usually will work fine for your "PROVIDER" (the people you pay for your internet service) e-mail, like Roadrunner....

Call your service provider's support phone line. They can tell you all the things to put in when setting up Outlook Express. That's what they're there for.
