I can't remember my hotmail password, but it is hidden in my account
settings. How can I find it? I can't access my password through hotmail
because I don't remember my account information, either.

Also, how can I add another pop mail account from my ISP? I use cox cable
mail.

If you can't remember your Hotmail password or any of the details that you
used to set up that account, then you won't be able to reset your password,
as the system has no way of verifying that you aren't an impostor.

As for the creation of another POP account with your ISP, you should be able
to use the Member Services (or equivalent) section of their homepage in
order to create the extra mailbox and then use the Tools > Accounts > Mail
section of Outlook Express to configure that new account on your Mac.

HTH,
