CONFIGURING OUTLOOK EXPRESS FOR HOTMAIL
----------------------------------------------------
This works for my ISP (BTinternet.com) and may also work for Outlook.
Different IPS's may require different settings in the outgoing email sections.
1. (Optional) Set up a new Identity in OE if you want to keep Hotmail messages separate
from those of your normal ISP email account.
2. Set up a new email account in OE.
Go to:- Tools - Accounts - Properties (for this new account)
3. In the various tabs for Properties, set:
"Server" Tab:
Incoming mail server to POP3
server name pop3.live.com
Outgoing mail SMTP server to your normal ISP SMTP server (eg smtp.btinternet.com)
your Hotmail email ID (eg. bill@hotmail.com) and password
check the box "Remember Password"
uncheck box "Logon using Secure Password Authentication"
check the box "My server requires authentication"
Click on "Settings" and then, in the sub-tab, enter in your normal ISP email
address or Login ID, and password
check the box "Remember Password"
uncheck "Log on using Secure Password authentication"
Click "Apply" and "OK"
"Advanced" Tab:-
set the Outgoing SMTP port to 587
set the Incoming POP3 port to 995
check the box "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)"
optional: move the timeout slider bar to the right (5 minutes)
optional: check the box "leave a copy of the message on the server"
Click "OK"
