Prerequisites:

In the top left corner of the Outlook window, click on the "File" menu.

Step 3: Click on "Add Account"

In the "File" menu, click on "Add Account".

Step 4: Select "Manual setup or additional server types"

In the "Add Account" window, select "Manual setup or additional server types" and click "Next".

Step 5: Select "Internet E-mail"

In the "Choose your account type" window, select "Internet E-mail" and click "Next".

Step 6: Enter your account settings

In the "Internet E-mail Settings" window, enter the following information:

• Your Name: Enter your name as you want it to appear in the "From" field of your emails.
• Email Address: Enter your Hotmail email address (e.g., [yourname]@hotmail.com).
• Password: Enter your Hotmail password.
• Account Type: Select "POP3" or "IMAP" (we recommend using IMAP for a more seamless experience).
• Incoming mail server: Enter "imap-mail.outlook.com" (for IMAP) or "pop3-mail.outlook.com" (for POP3).

Outlook 2010 will now try to connect to your Hotmail account. If everything is set up correctly, you should see a confirmation message. Click "OK" to close the message.

Step 9: Configure your account settings (optional)

You can configure additional settings, such as setting up your account to use SSL/TLS encryption or setting up a default send and receive folder. To do this, go to "File" > "Account Settings" > "Account Settings" and click on the "More Settings" button.

That's it! Your Hotmail account should now be set up in Outlook 2010. You can start sending and receiving emails using your Hotmail account.
