Live.com Settings:
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.
