Setting Outlook

# LIVE Mail Settings

The LIVE email service allows you to use the LIVE POP3 and SMTP servers to access your MSN mailbox.

LIVE Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop3.live.com (port 110, using Secure Password Authentication - SPA)

LIVE Outgoing Mail Server - smtp.live.com (select "My outgoing server requires authentication")

# Hotmail Settings

As other web based email services, Hotmail is using the HTTP protocol for connecting you to your mailbox. If you want to send and receive Hotmail emails using an email client software, then your software must support Hotmail HTTP access for your email account. Some email clients, such as Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook, offer builtin support for Hotmail accounts, so you only have to select HTTP when you are asked to select your email account type and select Hotmail as the HTTP Mail Service Provider.
