jalaffa Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 We are happy to announce that POP3 technology is now available to Hotmail users *edit 12Mar09* WORLDWIDE! What is POP3? It is a protocol that allows almost any e-mail software program that you’ve installed on your mobile phone or PC to get messages from your e-mail inbox on the web and deliver them in the designated program.Although you always could access Hotmail on your web-enabled mobile phone by going to mobile.live.com, now that Hotmail has POP3, you can get to it more conveniently using the e-mail software on your PC or mobile device* such as a Windows Mobile phone, iPhone, or BlackBerry.When you set up Hotmail in the e-mail program on your PC or mobile device, you may be asked for the following information: POP server: pop3.live.com (Port 995) POP SSL required? Yes User name: Your Windows Live ID, for example [email protected] Password: The password you usually use to sign in to Hotmail or Windows Live SMTP server: smtp.live.com (Port 25 or 587) Authentication required? Yes (this matches your POP username and password) TLS/SSL required? Yes View: Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
