Your MSN Internet Access e-mail is not presently available through Hotmail. If you'd like to be able to access e-mail through the Web, you have the following options:
- Download the new MSN software, MSN
Explorer. This will allow you to move your MSN Internet Access
e-mail to Hotmail. You will be able to read your e-mail in MSN
Explorer or from any Web browser, but not through Outlook Express. To
download MSN Explorer, visit http://explorer.msn.com.
- Create a Hotmail account. This will not
replace your MSN Internet Access e-mail account. To create a Hotmail
account sign
out of your .NET Passport and visit the Hotmail Web site.
- Set up your Hotmail to access your MSN
Internet Access e-mail. This will allow you to view your MSN
Internet Access e-Mail messages on Hotmail and also allow you to read
your e-mail on Outlook Express. To do this:
- Create a Hotmail account, if needed.
- Sign in to Hotmail.
- Click POP Mail, under Services on the left navigation bar.
- In the 1st POP Account section, use the following information:

POP Mail under Services. Your MSN Internet Access e-mail
will be marked with the unique symbol you chose during the POP Account
