Thank you very much for this – I now have my Live and Hotmail account working. My outgoing server (SMTP) is set to 587 and my encryption connection type is ‘auto’.

I got it to work. Only problem it does not download the sub-folders, just the inbox.
Is there a way to get the other folders?
If not I have to return to connector.

mil gracias por el post, eh wanted this for many pages always put the same pop3 and smtp the same but you put your outgoing SMTP port not put it right or was for the same reason you put in the note, that the isp’s blocks. I use that port and DDE function I wonder … Congratulations you dony 100

now a question … How will I get a free smtp, what happens is that I have an email account so “thejonhy@thekenna.co.cc” but the web host is not giving me the outgoing smtp is only the appetizer I say this mx.000webhost.com use the smtp of my isp but my isp do I charge for the service. It may use the same registration smtp.live.com if my hotmail account? contact me at the same address. and if it works I’ll send a message from that account will confirm.

I’m going good and I hope you can help advance many thanks for the help.

I just wanted to thank J’s tip. I was setting up my hotmail account on my new iMac’s entourage, and thanks to the tip was able to do it by using port 587 on my ‘outgoing’ setting.
I kept getting an “error” message with port 25.
Anyway, big thanks!

Thank you. It appears I had the opposite problem. My 3GS wouldn’t send outbound with a paid hotmail account. The defaut port for hotmail smtp was 587. I changed the port to 25 and now i can send outbound mail. I didn’t think to check the default settings.

I have successfully set up Hotmail in Outlook using 587 on the outgoing and TSL.
Thanks for your article (My ISP tech used it as a ref. thats ho I found it)
However I still do not seem to get a fresh update of what is on the Hotmail inbox. Also I do not see that Windows Live and Hotmail are exactly the same in-box. I seem to get more on my Win.Live in-box.
Is there something I am missing here?

I’ve been having problems sending outbound Hotmail from Windows Live for the past two weeks, changing the SMTP port to 587 worked perfectly, thanks for the help.
