Still i wonder why people check web mail often, when they have lots of Mail Clients in the internet. This post dedicated to the people who is new to Mail Clients. Now here we only explains how to configure Hotmail into Outlook Express because you can easily configure other mail services automatically in few clicks, but Hotmail needs manual configuration to connect with mail client. Hotmail is the one of the greatest and featured mail service offered by Microsoft. It had lots of features and also used to access the Microsoft Live. Another best mail client software offered  by Microsoft is Outlook Express. Event though both are the service offered by the Microsoft its somewhat hard to sync the both. Here I am engaging with discussing how to sync the Hotmail with the Outlook Express.

Outlook express offers the excellent mailing experience but while syncing the Hotmail account on the Outlook Express you got an error message on log on it, even the Username and the Password are correctly provided by you. The error message occurs if you automatically configure the account. To experience the Hotmail service on the outlook express you have to manually configure the account settings. Just you have to concentrate on the simple setting of mail account.

On configuring the Hotmail account on outlook express 2007 after providing the correct email address and the password it displays the error message as shown below.
