[gui-talk] Hotmail and Outlook Express or Windows Live?

[qubit]

Hi Sherry --
I don't currently have a hotmail account, but I do have an account that uses 
live.com, which I believe can accept hotmail. You configure as follows.  See 
if it works.

Go to the accounts settings in OE, select the hotmail account entry, go to 
properties, servers tab, and for the servers type pop3.live.com for hotmail, 
and smtp.live.com for smtp.
Then in the username, type not just the username, but the entire hotmail 
address -- that is, me at hotmail.com.
Uncheck secure password authentication, check the box for secure server, hit 
apply and then go to the advanced tab.  Under ports, put 25 for smtp and 995 
for pop3, and check secure server for both of them.  Hit apply and check the 
ports again to be sure they stuck, and then hit ok.

I really don't know if this will work, but live.com is run by microsoft (I 
think) and so it may be a way of accessing the account with pop3, which 
microsoft is trying to phase out.

HTH.  Let me know if it works.
It works for me on my yahoo account.

Is it possible to use Hotmail with Outlook Express? I am still using OE. If 
not, is there a good tutorial on how to set up Windows live mail? Thank you.
