I've done all of the below

http://products.secureserver.net/email/email_outlook.htm - for hotmail

http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13278 - for gmail

but now when I click send and receive it won't work....instead it reads 'error....'

maybe something to do with relay

I love outlook. I set mine up, but I can never set up someone else's unless I am actually there.

My new phone also got Outlook!

There should be a checkbox for something relating to security or privacy, if its checked, uncheck it. If its unchecked, check it. I remember I had a similar problem, and this fized it.

go to Options>Mail Setup>EMail Account>View or Change Existing Accounts>Select your Account>Click on Change

then on the bottom there should be a little check box. Then do what I said in post #6.

It worked when I had a password problem...might fix yours.

I dont think you can add hotmail to this. I tried and it said that you have to have the Premium Hotmail account in order to add it to Outlook.

Delete the work account from Outlook? Yea ofcourse.

Just go to Options>Mail Setup>EMail Account>View or Change Existing Accounts>Select your Account>Click on REMOVE.
