Say exactly what email client you are using (Outlook or Outlook Express), what exactly you are trying to do, and what exactly happens when you try - including the text of any error messages. Then we can have a sensible go at helping you :-) [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: outlook will not allow hotmail to e mail ..

It needs a bit more configuring than for my usual ISP email but is, nevertheless, very straightforward, at least for my ISP (BTInternet.com). If anyone is interested, I can post full details on this thread. The same method may well work for Outlook as well as Outlook Express.

Saturday, October 17, 2009 at 3:23 am Posted by MartinM (7551 messages posted) Just in passing, POPing hotmail from Outlook (not OE) works fine - do it all the time. Its only OE that's 'blocked'.

Sunday, October 18, 2009 at 11:40 am Posted by MikeB (47 messages posted) 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" On Saturday, October 17, 2009 at 2:49 pm, len wrote: > >please post the fix.. thanks len > > [Reply or follow-up to this message] Tip: Use one of the [Reply or follow-up to this message] links above to add a message to this thread Search this forum Start a new thread on a different subject Report abuse of the forum Return to the Windows XP Discussion Forum
