These are the steps required to set up Microsoft Outlook to send and receive messages through Hotmail accounts using HotApoc.

In summary you should set up an account as usual except that your server is "LocalHost" and you need to double check that the ports used match those in HotApoc.

Step 1
Choose Tools > Services...

Step 2
Click Add...

Step 3
Click OK.

Step 4
Enter you name and e-mail addresses.

Click on "Servers" tab.

Step 5
Enter "LocalHost" (no spaces) as your POP3 and SMTP servers.

Enter your account name and your account password.

For example: If your address is JDoe@Hotmail.com then you should enter JDoe as your account name.
If your address is Great_Guy625@Hotmail.com then your account name would be Great_Guy625.

Step 6
Enter the Appropriate port numbers into the Advanced tab of Outlook.

Important: These port numbers must match the port numbers in the Sending and Receiving tabs of HotApoc.

Click the OK button.
