Nothing really to do with winxp

You need to use the Outlook Connector to access Hotmail with Outlook

What version of Outlook is being used? presumably in winxp?

Are you a Hotmail Plus or MSN Premium subscriber?

 

Are you using Outlook Connector?

A way to do that is to use the import features of Outlook and Outlook

Express. If you're actually using Outlook, open Outlook Express and import

the Hotmail account settings. Then, export those settings from Outlook

Express. Copy the saved settings file to the new system, import it to

Outlook Express, then open Outlook and import them.

 

It's a little convoluted but the settings will be transferred properly.
