adding another account to hotmail account

[john bently]

I'm trying to add another one of my existing hotmail accounts to the one i
already have, so i can access both from the same page.

Despite trying to add another account to the existing one on the windows
live page many times over several days, after entering all the details;
nothing happens.

Is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions i would be grateful for
. Thanks.

What are you expecting to happen?
When you link LiveIDs, that simply means that you can access the other accounts
by clicking the drop down in the upper right hand corner of the LiveID enabled
page that supports this. You will not see both Hotmail accounts on a single web
page. You will see one account - the one you sign in with, but you can then
switch to the other account by clicking your name in the upper right. The
Hotmail page will reload and you will now see the other account.
You link accounts at http://account.live.com
You can, if desired, configure your secondary Hotmail account to forward to your
primary account automatically, but this means that all mail will be co-mingled
within the primary account. Replying or forwarding will be from the account you
are signed in with.

I thought maybe the op was attempting this (unless residing in one of the 'more' countries)

This feature was launched earlier this year in the UK, France, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Japan, and Germany, and was greeted with
some very positive feedback. Today, customers in the US, Canada, and Brazil will see the feature for the first time. More countries
will come later this year.

I considered that a possibility, but stopped short at the reference to
forwarding from one account to another.
The OP said "one of my existing hotmail accounts to the one i already have, so i
can access both from the same page." That doesn't sound like the feature for
checking POP accounts from Hotmail.

Thanks Steve.
I guess we'll have to wait for the op to explain further.

I referred to Pop3 aggregation since adding an aggregated email in the Hotmail web UI is accessible on the same Hotmail start page Inbox(if not configured to another designated user folder)

Thanks John..
That helps a bit.

To clarify.
1. Any Hotmail account can be accessed in Internet Explorer(IE) by going to Hotmail.com or Mail.live.com and entering the Hotmail
email address(username) and pw when prompted)
2. Any Hotmail account when viewed in IE can add aggregate up to 4 other email accounts(including another Hotmail account) in the
account's web interface Send/Receive options as long as they know the Pop3 settings.
3. Any Hotmail account can be linked to another Hotmail account(Linking makes the account accessible not viewed on the same page in
IE...a new page would load)

Only item 2...(aggregation) provides access to more than one Hotmail accounts email on the 'same page'. Aggregation of one Hotmail
account into another will deliver messages for both accounts into the same Inbox unless the user configures aggregation to deliver
to another user created folder in that same Hotmail account.

Thus you've 3 choices in IE for 2 Hotmail accounts ?
a. Link
b. Aggregate
c. Logon separately to each account in IE

And only (b) permits your original request "I'm trying to add another one of my existing hotmail accounts to the one i
already have, so i can access both from the same page."

i'm talking about
i'm talking about accessing the hotmail accounts via internet explorer. I thought pop 3 was what i had to set it up when
accessing hotmail via outlook express?
