Configuring POP/SMTP

Incoming server name: pop3.live.com


Outgoing server: smtp.live.com

While setting up the account, click on the More Settings button and on Outgoing Mail Servers
tab, select the My server requires authentication box. Most people will need to use the default
option of Use same settings as my incoming server.

Click the Advanced tab, and under Server Port Numbers, enter the following information:
· In the Incoming mail (POP3) box, type 995.
· In the Outgoing mail (SMTP) box, type 587.
· Under both Outgoing mail (SMTP) and Incoming mail (POP3), select the ‘requires secure
connection (SSL)’ check box. In Outlook 2007, choose Auto; use SSL for Outlook 2003
· Under Delivery, select the Leave a copy of messages on server check box if you want to see
your messages when you use Hotmail in a web browser, your mobile phone, or other e-mail
programs. By default, Outlook will delete the messages from the Hotmail server when they are
downloaded to your computer.

Using the Outlook Connector

After you download the Outlook Connector, close Outlook (if open) and install the connector.
Go to Control panel, Mail and open your profile and delete the HTTP account. Create a new
account using the Connector - in the Add account dialog, choose Additional server types then
choose the Outlook connector from the list. (It may be the only server type in your list.)

The connector uses it's own message store, which can be set as the default message store in
Tools, Account settings.

Windows Live Mail client

If you don't want to use POP3 and don't have Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007, you can use the
Live Mail client. It's free (and includes a calendar).

You can download it from http://download.live.com/wlmail.
