I'm trying to setup my hotmail on the outlook 2003. I followed the
instructions in the help using http option. I got error # 0x800CCCF6 saying
that I have to sign up a new hotmail account because the one I'm using is
invalid which is not true. Can you help me please solving this problem?

Is it a free Hotmail account? Most free Hotmail accounts cannot be used
with Outlook.

It matters if you want your mail in Outlook or Outlook Express!

Gmail is free to set up, Yahoo!Mail requires a paid account to use in Outlook/Outlook Express, as does Hotmail.
