I am using Hotmail now, but would like to create an alias name in my Hotmail account. I understand this will not affect in any way my Hotmail contacts or other  settings, but will allow me to send and receive on Outlook itself, which I can not do now. For example, if I try to forward a news item from IE9,I get a notice that I cannot connect to the server. I have no idea what I need to do, but would appreciate any help.
