i have to agree Xenon, most mail servers run to the format of something.domain.com theres never in my experirence been anything to follow that i.e /dir/dir/crap
its things like smtp. pop3. pop. mail. etc
and im 90% sure hotmail doesnt offer the ability to get mail via outlook etc, its only webmail and not too good at that, unless your willing to pay.
folks, buy domains ?5 for like 2 yr and u can have ur own spam free emails, heck folk should chip together and buy small amounts of webspace adn then share it with firends etc and all pay like a ?1 a month for top spam free email under your control
its what i used to do with a few firends after we all got sick of spam in our hotmail and the filters began to fill up
