Server names and ports:
POP3 = pop3.live.com Port = 995
SMTP = smtp.live.com Port = 587
Checkboxes you need to check include:
Server Tab: "My server requires authentication" (Click "Settings" button
also and fill in "Log on Using" email address - *** but do NOT check the
checkboxes there . . . .)
Advanced Tab: BOTH outgoing and incoming - "This server requires a secure
connection (SSL)"
General Tab (if desired but generally recommended): "Include this account
when receiving mail or synchronizing"
Should work - if you get errors post the entire error message (cut-n-paste)
for further assistance.
Who provides your email service?
Or to ask that question another way, what is the part of your email
address after the @ symbol?
Your mail provider will typically have a web page that shows how to
set up an email program. If you need more help, tell us the name of
your email service provider. If you currently don't have an email
address, we can help with that also.
