    Hi, in work we get specified an email address and i can access that anywhere through a net connection by typing in a secure address and entering username/password.

    I would like to set up either (or both) my hotmail and gmail accounts so that i can type in an address in my browser and they come up in outlook express (obviously after putting in pw and username), is this possible?

    I have no idea what i would have to type in in the address bar?! :confused:

    Thanks in advance

    I don't understand what you are asking. It sound like you are using OWA for your work, but what do you want to do with Hotmail and Gmail.

    So it sounds to me like you want to use Outlook Express to access your hotmail and gmail accounts, correct?

    How to for Hotmail. TIP: use the http settings.
    How to for Gmail

    If that's not what you are wanting to do...then ignore me. :D

    You cannot setup Outlook to use Hotmail servers unless you pay for your Hotmail Account.

    I'm not sure about GMail however.

    Gmail is easy, make the profile anything you want.
    Incoming Mail: localhost
    Outgoing Mail: localhost
    Account Name: [Insert Gmail Username Here]
    Password: [Insert Gmail Password Here]
    Outgoing Port: 25
    Incoming Port: 110
    Use something like gPopper
    For Yahoo, it's basically the same thing except you use YahooPOPs .
    Hope this helps a bit.
