Gezim,
You misunderstood the notice from Microsoft regarding accessing hotmail via
Outlook Express. They changed the method used by Outlook Express to access
Hotmail. It now uses POP3. I followed the instructions provided by Microsoft
for configuring Outlook Express to access my hotmail account, and it works
fine. Here are the steps:
Add a Hotmail POP3 account in Outlook Express
1. In Outlook Express, on the Tools menu, click Accounts.
Step 1
2. Click Add, and then click Mail.
Step 2
3. Type your name, and then click Next.
Step 3
4. Type your full Hotmail e-mail address, and then click Next.
Step 4
5. Enter the following information, and then click Next:
· In the My incoming mail server is a list, click POP3.
· In the Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP, or HTTP) server box, type
pop3.live.com
· In the Outgoing mail (SMTP) server box, type smtp.live.com
Step 5
6. Type the account name and the password for your Hotmail account.
Clear the Remember password check box unless you're the only person with
access
to the computer. Make sure that the Log on using Secure Password
Authentication (SPA) check box isn't selected.
Step 6
7. Click Next, and then click Finish.
8. In the Internet Accounts window, click the Mail tab, click the
Hotmail account that you added, and then click Properties.
Step 7
9. Click on the Servers tab and under 'Outgoing Mail Servers', please check
the "My server requires authentication" box.
10. Click on the Settings button to the right of the "My server requires
authentication" option. You may need to turn on the "Use same settings as
my incoming
server" option unless you are using a special account setup requiring a
different Account name and password. Most people will need to use the
default
option of "Use same settings as my incoming server".
11. Click the Advanced tab, and under Server Port Numbers, enter the
following information, and then click OK:
· In the Incoming mail (POP3) box, type 995.
· In the Outgoing mail (SMTP) box, type 25 or 587.
· Under both Outgoing mail (SMTP) and Incoming mail (POP3), select
the This server requires a secure connection (SSL) check box.
· Under Delivery, select the Leave a copy of messages on server
check box if you want to see your messages when you use Hotmail in a web
browser,
your mobile phone, or other e-mail programs. By default, Outlook Express
will delete the messages from the Hotmail server when they are downloaded to
your
computer.
Step 9
10. Click OK.
