hotmail - Outlook

 

These are the steps required to set up Microsoft Outlook to send and receive messages through Hotmail accounts using Webmail Retriever for Hotmail.

In summary you should set up an account as usual except that your server is "LocalHost" and you need to double check that the ports used match those in Webmail Retriever for Hotmail.


Step 1
Choose Tools > Services...

 


Step 2
Click Add...

 


Step 3
Click OK.



Step 4
Enter you name and email addresses.

Click on "Servers" tab.

 


Step 5
Enter "LocalHost" (no spaces) as your POP3 and SMTP servers.

Enter your account name and your account password.

For example: If your address is JDoe@Hotmail.com then you should enter JDoe as your account name.
If your address is Great_Guy625@Hotmail.com then your account name would be Great_Guy625.



Step 6
Enter the Appropriate port numbers into the Advanced tab of Outlook.

Important: These port numbers must match the port numbers in the Sending and Receiving tabs of Webmail Retriever for Hotmail.

Click the OK button.
