It appears from what I can find that neither Express nor full Outlook are compatible with Hotmail. Looks like he needs to set up an email account through his ISP, which should be free anyway.

I still have OE configured for my Hotmail account.
I have OE Ver6 on my XP machine.
the Server URL is
http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp which is autofilled by OE when setting it up.
New Hotmail accounts aren't enabled.
Older, established accounts are still enabled. So, if you had it before, you should still be able to use OE.
I like being able to access my messages and folders through OE rather than through the web.
At one point, I did have Outlook configured for Hotmail, but preferred to just have OE handle it, and use Outlook for my Exchange account at work. Easier to keep them separate.
Hope this helps.
