Windows Live Mail


Question

I can't seem to set up my Neowinian e-mail with Windows Live Mail. Before I couldn't even log onto it, but I think because I'm logged into Windows Live Messenger it worked a bit. Below you'll see some screenshots and what I'm trying to fix (highlighted in yellow).

I can't Send/Receive messages so I remain with 0 messages.

I tried sending myself an e-mail to test where the NEW e-mail button worked but I kept getting this:

It seems the only reason it is connected to Windows Live Mail is because I'm logged into Windows Live Messenger.

I typed in my info, click NEXT and got this:

Basically I won't be able to access my account using Windows Live Mail simply Hotmail is a ****-face who do not offer free direct POP3 servers. (or SMTP for that matter)

Could someone help me on this tedious task? I've heard many users were able to do it, yet I cannot. :cry:

This is what worked for me to get my neowinian Live Mail account to work properly:

To access a Windows Live Hotmail Plus account in any desktop email program:

* Create a new account using the following settings:

* POP (incoming) server: pop3.live.com

* POP port: 995

* POP SSL required: yes

* POP user name: your complete Windows Live Hotmail address (including "@hotmail.com", "@live.com", etc.)

* POP password: your Windows Live Hotmail password

* SMTP (outgoing) server: smtp.live.com

* SMTP port: 25

o If you run into problems sending mail, try "587" for the SMTP port instead.

* SMTP SSL required: yes

* SMTP authentication: yes

* SMTP user name: your full Windows Live Hotmail email address

* SMTP password: your Windows Live Hotmail password
