Windows Live Hotmail e-mail server types

[MAD275]

I'm trying to find out what the incoming and outgoing mail server names are
so I can set up Windows Mail e-mail client. I've looked everywhere that I
can think of and I haven't found any answers. Please help.

You didn't look very hard..

MS recently added POP3 access to Hotmail/Live accounts from most countries.

The incomming and outgoing mail servers are provided by your ISP. For
example, Rogers uses: pop.broadband.rogers.com for incoming, and
smtp.broadband.rogers.com for outgoing. Log on to your ISP page to find yours.

Hope this help.

WM will not let you set up any HTTP type account.
Do the following to trick it.

Here is the trick needed, to set up the Hotmail, Live etc account in WM.

Start with a new account setup and use (e-mail address removed)
Setup the account with the correct server, port and SSL settings, (below),
save
it, ignore errors, then go back and enter the correct email address
and (e-mail address removed) or msn.com or live.com

Try the following settings for Hotmail or Live accounts?


POP server: pop3.live.com (Port 995)
POP SSL required? Yes
User name: Your Windows Live ID, for example (e-mail address removed)
Password: The password you usually use to sign in to Hotmail or Windows
Live
SMTP server: smtp.live.com (Port 25 or 587)
Authentication required? Yes (this matches your POP username and password)
TLS/SSL required? Yes
