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!!

Do a Google for POP3 Mail Clients and you should find some proggies that will do what you want...

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?

Description- The name you give the account (what the theme will display as the e-mail name)
Server- The address for the POP3 server (for example - incoming.verizon.net)
Login- Your login for the e-mail account
Password- Your password for the account.
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
Msg info- How many messages and how many bytes

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....
