Were you ever able to download your Hotmail account in Entourage?

I have the same problem. I just bought the office for mac package. I go through the setup process. it says that everything checks out fine and I even use the "verify settings" button. Once I complete the setup process I get the same http error message as soon as Entourage attempts to send/receive. I have never been able to get the messages to load.

Never mind. I just discovered that "free hotmail accounts" cannot be setup in Entourage, at least according to some information I found in the "help/how-to" link above. Very disappointing considering that MS Outlook was compatible with free hotmail accounts. If anyone knows a way around this please let me know.

I suggest switching to a free Gmail or Yahoo account!
