Loading Hotmail onto Outlook 2010 / Win 10
I'm trying to install a hotmail account onto outlook 2010 using a win 10 laptop.
I've tried using the connector, this failed.
I've tried using recommended POP3 settings;
SMTP Server Server for outgoing mail. Hotmail uses smtp.live.com
SMTP Port Port for outgoing mail. The dafault Hotmail smtp port is 25.
SMTP Secure Secure connection for SMTP server. Default is checked
Optional Hotmail pop3 setting, configure pop3
POP3 Server Incoming mail Server for POP3, Hotmail uses pop3.live.com
POP3 Port IP port for POP3 communication. The dafault Hotmail smtp port is 995.
This failed.
I tried using IMAP settings;
Enter your details into the Internet E-mail Settings screen as follows:
Your Name: [enter your name]
Your E-mail: [enter your email address]
For Account Type: option, choose IMAP
For Incoming mail server: field, type imap-mail.outlook.com
For Outgoing mail server: field, type smtp-mail.outlook.com
User Name: [enter your full email address ie. yourname@hotmail.com]
Password: [enter your email password] & leave the Remember password box checked
Leave Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) box un-checked (important!)
Leave Test account settings by clicking the Next button box checked (recommended)
Click the More Settings… button, then select the Outgoing Server tab
Check the My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication box
Select the Use same settings as my incoming mail server option
Select the Advanced tab, then enter port details as follows:
Incoming server (IMAP): 993
Use the following type of encrypted connection: SSL
Outgoing server (SMTP): 587
Use the following type of encrypted connection: TLS
Server Timeouts: 5 minutes
This recognised and green ticked the incoming server issues, however outgoing server did once again not sync.
Any suggestions?
