11-08-2009 11:24 PMYou should be able to set up hotmail accounts within the mail client just the same as you do yahoo accounts. Originally Posted by DaHarder

Can only be done through POP3 at least that I know of or could find. (I think there is an IMAP setting but couldn't find it)
The following are the options to set that up:
Pop3 Server: pop3.live.com (Port: 995)
Incoming Uses SSL: On
Authentication: Password
Delete from Server: When removed from inbox
SMTP Server: smtp.live.com (Port: 25)
Outgoing Uses SSL: On
Authentication: Password
While I did get the POP3 server configured and it worked, I could not input the SMTP server, it kept telling me failed to connect to server, so if someone can figure this out, that would be great.Resistance is futile.

11-08-2009 11:30 PMThat's what i figured, is why i posted the POP3 account stuff. This was all listed on microsofts site as what to put in there. The POP3 info goes in great and connects, the SMTP does not. Originally Posted by smilepak
