I have been using hotmail for many years, >10.

I have a Mac with Microsoft office mac 2011 including Outlook, bought specifically to use hotmail, now outlook.com.

Is there any way of setting up outlook 2011 mac to receive and send messages from my outlook.com account? ie not a POP account either imap or similar or an outlook connector like on the PC outlook version?

If there is no way - Why not?

If there is no way - Will this service become available? and if so when?

Thanks for help

Y
