I'm a newbie here.

How the hell do you configure hotmail with Mail or Entourage.

Help

P.S.
It's totally beyond me why Entourage doesn't make this easy??

Hotmail is ludicrously lame, I have no idea why anybody would use it. Anyway, you could use this.

in entourage, click Tools>Accounts.
New mail account. From the drop-down list of POP, IMAP, or Hotmail, you choose hotmail.

pretty easy.

Because its a great free online site/spam filter. I personally turn on the "safe list" feature, and add a site right before i put my email in a website... so nothing else gets through. I only use for that tho. My main email is a .mac addy.
