Windows Live Hotmail POP and SMTP server… finally!
POP (POP3) e SMTP di Hotmail: accessibili tramite client email!Even if I prefer Google’s Gmail (I’m even using it as a mail client), as an ex Hotmail user I think that this news deserves a mention: (Windows Live) Hotmail POP3 and SMTP servers are finally available for mail clients!
You can now download your email from Hotmail with your favorite mail client, without using third-part software like FreePOPs.
Windows Live Hotmail POP3 and SMTP configuration settings
- Username: your complete email address;
- Password: your Windows Live ID profile password;
- POP (POP3):
- address: pop3.live.com
- port: 995
- SSL: yes
- SMTP:
- address: smtp.live.com
- port: 25;
- SSL: Yes;
- authentication: required;
Useful even for those MSN Live Messenger users that don’t use Hotmail
Earlier I said that I don’t use Hotmail; but I’m a MSN Live Messenger user, and my contacts usually send me some messages to my Hotmail inbox, thinking that it’s my primary email account.
And thanks to new Microsoft POP server, I can receive my hotmail mail directly in my Gmail web client, without checking Hotmail’s web site for new emails.
