SysMetrix E-mail Setup
Monday, February 2, 2004 by Craig Bristow | Discussion: Stardock Software
Can I setup SysMetrix to check and open my Hotmail account? Or can I somehow setup Outlook to recieve my Hotmail, and thereby enable me to check my hotmail with SysMetrix via Outlook? Thanks!!

No. Sysmetrix mail checking only works with POP3 mail servers. Hotmail is not a POP3 server. Hotmail can be set up to work with Outlook because Microsoft made both programs. And support for Hotmail was specifically added to Outlook.

Im actually looking for an answer to this same question.
How exactly can I configure SysMetrix to check my Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook.
I mean, where and what settings do I use?
When I open the Configuration window and click on Email Accounts I get the followin fields
-Description:
-Server:
-Login:
-Password:
-Last Check:
-Last Error:
-Msg Info:
What do I put on those fields?

Last check- The date and time Sysmetrix last checked the account
Last error- If the there was an error in checking the account, what the error is

Hotmail can't be checked by sysmetrix. It is an http based e-mail system, and sysmetrix only works with POP3. You also can't set it to poll Outlook either....
