Hello!

I am trying to set up my windows mail using an @live.com e-mail address, yet
I cannot find the POP and/or STMP information for @live addresses anywhere.

What do I enter in these two fields?

Thank you in advance!
 
To follow up with more information about my problem, I found the site:

http://mailcall.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!CC9301187A51FE33!49799.entry?sa=115122547

I thought I would be all set to go. I used the POP3 name of:

pop3.live.com (Port 995)

When I leave the (Port 995) on it, it says it is an invalid POP account.
When I do it without the (Port 995), I still cannot sync my mail and receive
mail from my @live account. The same holds true when I used the STMP name of:

smtp.live.com (Port 25 or 587)

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!!

Olivia
 
The port number is not part of the server name.
Go to the Advanced tab of that account, enable the SSL option
(two places), then change the outgoing port number to 587, and
the incoming port number to 995.
