I'm actually holding off doing the email tutorials until the new version of the tablet operating system appears, because apparently it has a new kind of e-mail application.

Basically though, you have two choices for email:

-Use the web browser to look at your Hotmail account through the Hotmail website. This is very easy to do because it works just like it does on your PC. There's no setup required.

OR

-Set up the tablet's built-in email app so that it works with your Hotmail account. What you have to do is look at Hotmail's support pages for setting up a "POP" or "IMAP" account, and use those instructions along with the tablet e-mail app's account setup wizard.
