-Password is required
-SPA(secure password authorization) = Off(uncheck this option) - Outgoing Server = smtp.live.com
-Port 25 or 587 [Note: Preferred Outgoing is Port 587 instead of Port 25 since many ISP’s blocks Port 25 usage. Similar blocking can occur when using Port 25 in hotels or accessing via a WiFi network/hotspot]
-Outgoing Server Authentication = On(check the option)-Encryption/Authentication = SSL or TLS
* Choose SSL for Windows Live Mail, Outlook 2003, iPhone, iPod Touch, Outlook Express and Vista's Windows Mail

-> Note: Windows Mail or Outlook may interpret entry of a Hotmail email address(Hotmail.com, Live.com, or Msn.com)
as an attempt to setup an Http(not Pop3) account.
- If so, enter a false email address e.g. mailhot.com and continue to setup the account.
Once the account is setup, edit the account and correct the email address and username
Pop3/Stmp Access Capability Unknown - due to insufficient information:
- Subscription Based:
- Msn DSL Partner Accounts(Verizon, Bell)- Primary Accounts (using MSN Premium Software, e.g. MSN Explorer)
- Sub-Accounts of the above Primary Accounts
Comments for Hotmail accounts(Hotmail.com, Live.com, Msn.com):
- Pop3 retrieval by design removes messages from the online web user interface’s Inbox. To retain a copy in the online Inbox ensure the email client is configured to leave a copy of the message on the server.
- For Pop3 retrieval, if the local email client is not configured to leave the message on the server, the server will place the original copy of the email in the online Deleted folder.
- The Deleted folder automatically purges messages from the server after 5 days
