Hotmail Question

[dconder]

Does anyone know if there is way to have the Q check a hotmail account automatically? Basically just have it check every so often for email and play an alert when you get a new one. I know its just a few button pushes to check it but it would be nice to just have it play an alert when a new one arrives. Thanks.

Load up Windows Live from this post...true push Hotmail!

Ok, I will be a total newbie here and ask how do I load up Windows Live? I have been trying to figure it out and can not come up with it. My Q will not let me click the link at windowslive.com to install.

it's a .zip file, so you will need something to unzip it with (only freeware that does that is Total Commander) or d/l it to a pc first.

if all else fails i have the .cab..

Thank you very, very much. I was able to load the wlinstaller from the windowslive.com site and it would not run that .exe file. I tried a cab file that I downloaded from one of the links that Treefrog's post took me to. It loaded and installed but would not really run. I clicked on it and it took forever just for the screen to show a search box and log in to windows live icon. It would not do anything else from there so I uninstalled it. It was:

10.6.33.0600

Is there a different version I should be using and where might I find it?

Thanks for helping a newbie out.

Hold...its not 0600. Let me get home and decypher!

And this working version doesn't have a "about" screen that i could find. Be back in 15...

dconder..

If you downloaded the zip from the rapidshare site it shouldn't be version .0600. I'm not even sure what version I linked to is as there is no about screen to look at. Can you tell me what the cab was named you installed?

And did you install on the device memory?

I did install in device memory. I will double check tomorrow and see if I used the one from your link. I had so many different pages of links open I may have gotten the wrong one. I will try and work some more on it when I get to my shop in the morning. Thanks.
