How do I add a homail account to Leopard Mail?

Hi,

I have a Hotmail account (ending in @hotmail.co.uk) that I pay a subscription for. I'd like to add this account to Mail, where I already get my AOL mail. Does anyone know the mumbo jumbo I have to type in to set it up? I have no idea what POPs and IMAPS are, so if someone could give me the exact settings I'd be really grateful, as I can't seem to find the details on the Hotmail site.

Also, I'd like to be able to organise it so that my AOL and Hotmail arrive in separate folders, if that's possible.

By the way, has anyone had experience of using the new "stationery" that Leopard users can tart up their email with? Will the message arrive in one piece at the other end, esp with the (unfortunate) majority who use Outlook Express?

Thanks for your help

Doesn't look like Microsoft offers a way to get your e-mail via POP3 or IMAP, only through HTTP, sorry. Here is a quick article on how to configure your Mail to sort of work with it (http://email.about.com/cs/macosxmailtips/qt/et042503.htm). Also, each mail account you add adds a "sub-folder" under your inbox, one for each account. You can view all of the messages in all of your accounts by clicking on the one INBOX, or expand the INBOX to see the actual inbox for each account (AOL, Hotmail, Gmail, etc).
