Well, there are several guides out there for setting up your Outlook express to mask your email as that of a Paypal email address, or FBI, or Blizz, or whatever, so I wont go into that. But I ran into an issue that I suspect others will, or have, run into.

If you have a free hotmail account, which most people do, you cant set up outlook express to use that email without assistance. What you want to use is POP3 which you can find [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

You want to use the auto installer. Then follow these steps.


# Install FreePOPs.
# Select All Programs | FreePOPs | FreePOPs from the Start menu.
# Start Outlook Express.
# Select Tools | Accounts... from the menu in Outlook Express.
# Click Add and select Mail....
# Type your name.
# Click Next >.
# Enter your Windows Live Hotmail address ("hmmzl34@hotmail.com", for example).
# Click Next > again.
# Make sure POP3 is selected under My incoming mail server is a ___ server..
# Enter "localhost" under Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP or HTTP) server:.
# Type your ISP's mail server under Outgoing mail (SMTP) server:.

*I have comcast, so mine was smtp.comcast.net
# Click Next >.
# Type your full Windows Live Hotmail address under Account name:.
# Enter your Windows Live Hotmail password under Password:.
# Click Next >.
# Click Finish.
# Highlight the newly created Windows Live Hotmail account in the Internet Accounts list.
# Click Properties.
# Go to the Advanced tab.
# Enter "2000" under Server Port Numbers | Incoming mail (POP3):.
# Click OK.


Now you have your Outlook express set up to use your real hotmail address. If you want to mask it as a Paypal, check out 2dgreengiant's guide on it, which I wont paraphrase here, and +rep him on the brilliant guide/idea!

I know this isnt directly a wow scam resource, but I thought it was relevant enough to be worthy of a post.

Nice guide. Maybe give a link to 2d's guide, it would be more understandable then.

Hai, i'm a freak and i want someone to scan that .exe =/ I'll rep you if its clean =)

[SHEEPY2006]

that freepop thing? its clean for me ive got it installed

[rgames]

The download is from the freepop site, not my thing, but I understand your reservation XP.

SHEEPY- from my understanding, you need to put in the server information for your Internet Service Provider, mine is comcast, so smtp.comcast.net works for me, I dont know what it would be for any other ISP.

Millodk- Good idea.

[SHEEPY2006]

would u happern to know how i could find it out?

[rgames]

Well, what company provides your internet? I googled "comcast outgoing mail server smtp" or something along those lines, shouldn't be too hard to figure yours out, assuming you know who provides the internet at your place.

[SHEEPY2006]

[SHEEPY2006]

smtp.tools.sky.com

[SHEEPY2006]

Great idea... but..if you send an email to a hotmail address it goes straight to junk mail and is classified as a it "may be a phishing scam". It may only be hotmail thou, haven't tried anything else.
