I. How to Get Started with Hotmail Offline


1. In Outlook Express, on the "Tools" menu, click "Accounts".
2. In the "Internet Accounts" dialog box, click the "Add" button.
3. Click "Mail" to open the Internet Connection Wizard, and then follow the
instructions to configure your existing Hotmail account. You need only your
Hotmail sign-in name and password.

II. How to Synchronize your Hotmail Account with Outlook Express

With Hotmail Offline, you can synchronize Hotmail and Outlook Express to
keep the messages on your hard disk drive and your online account
coordinated and up to date. If you change your Hotmail account through
Outlook Express (move messages, create or delete folders, or compose a new
message), these changes appear in both programs. With synchronization,
Outlook Express downloads new messages from your Hotmail account to Outlook
Express.

III. How to Send a Message in Outlook Express


1. In the Outlook Express folders list, click your Hotmail Inbox.
2. On the toolbar, click the "New Mail" button.
3. In the "To" or "Cc" boxes, type the e-mail name of each recipient,
separating names with a comma or semicolon.
4. In the "Subject" box, type a message title.
5. Compose your message in the text box, and then click the "Send" button.
Note: The message is not sent until you synchronize.

IV. How to use Outlook Express to Save Messages on Your Computer's Hard Disk
Drive

You can use Outlook Express to store Hotmail messages on your computer and
never worry about exceeding the Hotmail size limit.


1. In Outlook Express, under the "Local Folders" list, click "Local
Folders".
2. Click "File", point to "New", and then click "Folder".
3. In the text box under "Folder", type a name for the new folder. Your new
folder appears in the list under "Local Folders".
4. Drag messages from your Hotmail Inbox in Outlook Express to the new
folder.
When you follow this procedure, you are removing e-mail messages from your
Hotmail server and moving the messages to your hard disk drive, reducing the
size of your Hotmail account. You can now view the messages in the new
Outlook Express folder any time you launch Outlook Express--you need not be
signed in to Hotmail to see the messages.
