How do I set up windows live e-mail in outlook

[Stephen Bell]

I am trying to set up my windows live mail to open up in the windows
messanger. Where do i find the incoming server and outgoing server addresses

Your subject title says "outlook" while elsewhere you say "messenger".
Which is it? Neither Outlook nor Messenger are covered in this forum.

The newsgroup fro WLM is: microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop

The settings you want however are (Open WLM - Tools - Accounts):

Live.com Settings:

Server names and ports:
POP3 = pop3.live.com Port = 995
SMTP = smtp.live.com Port = 587

Checkboxes you need to check include:

Server Tab: "My server requires authentication" (Click "Settings" button
also and fill in "Log on Using" email address - *** but do NOT check the
checkboxes there . . . .)

Advanced Tab: BOTH outgoing and incoming - "This server requires a secure
connection (SSL)"

General Tab (if desired but generally recommended): "Include this account
when receiving mail or synchronizing"

Should work - if you get errors post the entire error message (cut-n-paste)
for further assistance.
