Well, there are several guides out there for setting up your Outlook express to mask your email as that of a Paypal email address, or FBI, or Blizz, or whatever, so I wont go into that. But I ran into an issue that I suspect others will, or have, run into.

If you have a free hotmail account, which most people do, you cant set up outlook express to use that email without assistance. What you want to use is POP3 which you can find here

You want to use the auto installer. Then follow these steps.


# Install FreePOPs.
# Select All Programs | FreePOPs | FreePOPs from the Start menu.
# Start Outlook Express.
# Select Tools | Accounts... from the menu in Outlook Express.
# Click Add and select Mail....
# Type your name.
# Click Next >.
# Enter your Windows Live Hotmail address ("[email protected]", for example).
# Click Next > again.
# Make sure POP3 is selected under My incoming mail server is a ___ server..
# Enter "localhost" under Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP or HTTP) server:.
# Type your ISP's mail server under Outgoing mail (SMTP) server:.

*I have comcast, so mine was smtp.comcast.net
# Click Next >.
# Type your full Windows Live Hotmail address under Account name:.
# Enter your Windows Live Hotmail password under Password:.
# Click Next >.
# Click Finish.
# Highlight the newly created Windows Live Hotmail account in the Internet Accounts list.
# Click Properties.
# Go to the Advanced tab.
# Enter "2000" under Server Port Numbers | Incoming mail (POP3):.
# Click OK.


Now you have your Outlook express set up to use your real hotmail address. If you want to mask it as a Paypal, check out 2dgreengiant's guide on it, which I wont paraphrase here, and +rep him on the brilliant guide/idea!

I know this isnt directly a wow scam resource, but I thought it was relevant enough to be worthy of a post.

Nice guide. Maybe give a link to 2d's guide, it would be more understandable then.

Hai, i'm a freak and i want someone to scan that .exe =/ I'll rep you if its clean =)

[SHEEPY2006]

that freepop thing? its clean for me ive got it installed

[rgames]

The download is from the freepop site, not my thing, but I understand your reservation XP.

SHEEPY- from my understanding, you need to put in the server information for your Internet Service Provider, mine is comcast, so smtp.comcast.net works for me, I dont know what it would be for any other ISP.

Millodk- Good idea.

[SHEEPY2006]

would u happern to know how i could find it out?

[rgames]

Well, what company provides your internet? I googled "comcast outgoing mail server smtp" or something along those lines, shouldn't be too hard to figure yours out, assuming you know who provides the internet at your place.

[SHEEPY2006]

[SHEEPY2006]

i think this is it?

smtp.tools.sky.com

[SHEEPY2006]

thanks done it

Great idea... but..if you send an email to a hotmail address it goes straight to junk mail and is classified as a it "may be a phishing scam". It may only be hotmail thou, haven't tried anything else.

Yesterday evening I was at the Inet and observed there some funny things. One of them I was downloaded and it blinded me. The software could restore my old outlook express data. I hope it would help in other types of problems with outlook express - outlook express folder repair tool.
