@MSN e-mail accounts with Outlook Express

savedmoney

Hi

Is it possible to download e-mails from a
Free
@msn.com
e-mail account using Outlook Express 6?

I found this article on Microsoft.com explaining how to configure Outlook
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287604
tried to use the same settings for Outlook Express but it did not work.

Then this article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/220852/en-us
which is titled
How to configure Outlook Express to use a Hotmail account
But goes onto describe installing the newer e-mail client Windows Live Mail.

But I'd much rather stick with Outlook Express if I can.

I've got hotmail working as

incoming Mail Pop3 pop3.live.com

Outgoing Mail SMTP smtp.live.com

tick the box for "My server requires authentification"

on the advanced tab I have entered

Outgoing Mail (SMTP) 25 (and the ssl box underneath ticked)

Incoming Mail (POP3) 995 ( again the ssl box ticked)

It worked! :j

Thanks for that Browntoa
