Hi,
Have you paid for your Hotmail account or is it a free account ?

A FREE account no longer permits access via 3rd party software such as Outlook Express.

many thanks for your quick answer.
I have a free Hotmail account. is it the same thin for Yahoo accounts?

Yahoo will permit POP3 accounts if you are in the UK, but not if you are in the US !
I am not sure about Morocco sorry. I can only suggest you try it out.

If it doesn't allow you to do it, try setting up an account, but during the sign-up process, state that you are in the UK !!

I tried everything you told me and even Yahoo didn't work either.

Ok, tell you what, give me a username and I'll set you a Yahoo (UK) account up.
I know it definitely allows a POP service as I have a couple of them!

Only problem I can see if if their servers detect that you're using the service from a country other than the UK, but you'll just have to try it out.
