From the "You Say Soda, I Say Pop" department, Lockergnomaniac Alex Dunlop has a burning tip for Hotmail users. When Outlook Express v5.0 was released, it was finally possible to access your Hotmail account through an e-mail program on your system. If you'd much rather use another mail client, no problem; your Hotmail account can be accessed through just about any given mail program. You already know your username and password, but you'll need to set 'pop.hotmail.com' as your POP3 server, and 'relay.hotmail.com' as your SMTP server. No more clunky Web interfaces!
