Hotmail/MSN POP3 and SMTP Configuration to Check Email on Outlook

Every morning the first thing I do is to have a cup of coffee to read all the emails of the day before. Since I manage many Websites I check many email accounts.

But as the human I am I also have a personal Hotmail account, you know, to stay in touch with friends and family. And

if I can avoid getting myself in to Windows Live page just to read a single email account I will definitely do what it takes

to gather all the reading together. There's nothing I have against MSN guys but I enjoy being organized.
