POP3 - mail.hotmail.com
SMTP - you'll need to contact your ISP and get their outgoing mail server
I'm not sure if Hotmail supports POP mail unless you've got a paid account with them though, so you may not be able to do it all 😕
Sussed it...... sort of. When you attempt to setup an account with the domain of hotmail.com, it automatically selects HTTP server for you and sets it all up for you. But when you enter an address with the hotmail.co.uk domain, it suggests that you need to enter a POP3 and SMTP. If you go to the top and reselect HTTP it lets you continue as you normally would with a hotmail.com domain account. Only problem beingthat, when you attempt to download the new folders for the account it comes up with 'An unknown erro has occured'. When details are selected, it kindly tells you that MSN accounts are no longer available through Outlook without a subscription fee.
