Outlook 2000 doesn't have built-in support for Hotmail; Outlook 2002 is
the first version with Hotmail support included. If you have Outlook
2000 running in Internet Mail Only mode, you would need to use the
workaround listed here:

If you're not sure whether or not you're running in Internet Mail Only
mode, check the second line of Help | About Microsoft Outlook.
