HTTPMP is a transport software that allows users to access their Hotmail accounts via Outlook 97, 98, 2000-2002 or other MAPI client applications. It improves email accessibility and integration for users who primarily use Outlook for their email communications.
If you're a Hotmail user, you might be wondering how to access your account through Outlook 2000. Unfortunately, Microsoft has acknowledged that there is no easy solution to this problem in their Knowledge Article 234704. While you can access Hotmail through the Hotmail web interface or Outlook Express, accessing it through Outlook 2000 requires a bit more tinkering.
Unlike Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook does not provide a direct option to use Hotmail e-mail accounts. Although it is possible to create a Hotmail folder in Outlook and use a web view to link it to the Hotmail website, this method is not always reliable. However, an unsupported hack shared in SLIPSTICK Systems' "Configuring Hotmail Support in Outlook 2000 (IMO)" suggests that it is possible to access a Hotmail Inbox in Outlook 2000 in Internet Mail Only Mode with Office Service Release 1/1a applied.
For a simpler, more effective solution, one option is to use HTTPMP. HTTPMP is a Hotmail (HTTP E-mail) MAPI transport that allows you to access Hotmail accounts from Outlook 97, 98, 2000-2002, and other MAPI email client applications. With this software, you can enjoy several features such as sending and receiving messages, the ability to read MIME and UUENCODE messages, and formatting options for HTML, RTF, and text messages. HTTPMP also lets you access your attachments, supports LAN, and dial-up access, and allows for auto dial and auto hang-up functionality.
Overall, if you're an Outlook 2000 user looking to access your Hotmail account, HTTPMP is a reliable choice. This software provides a simple and effective solution to the problem that Microsoft does not fully support.
