Greetings Gary,
You can to a point -- Windows Messenger 5 does not automatically check Hotmail accounts (so
you won't get the alert window when you get new mail), this feature has moved to MSN
Messenger. However, you can set it so Hotmail is the client that comes up with you click
'Send an e-mail', and the other e-mail functions in Messenger -- to do so, open Internet
Explorer, click the Tools menu, then Internet Options, then Programs tab, then under the
E-mail header, choose Hotmail and click OK.
