How to Set up My Hotmail Email Account in Outlook 2003

• Answer:

  One of the many benefits of using an email client program is that it allows you to have a centralized platform for your email needs, especially if you have several email accounts. While there are many email client programs, one of the most popular is Microsoft's Outlook 2003. If you use Windows Live Hotmail, you can configure the account in Outlook 2003. One of the platforms Outlook 2003 uses is Post Office Protocol (POP3). This platform is fully compatible with Windows Live Hotmail. Difficulty: Moderate Instructions Launch Outlook 2003 and then choose "Account settings" from the "Tools" pull-down menu. Choose "Internet Email" and then click "Next." Fill in the appropriate fields with your name and your Windows Live Hotmail address. Then choose "POP3" from the "Account type" menu. Enter "pop3.live.com" and "smtp.live.com" in the "Incoming mail server" and "Outgoing mail server" boxes. Provide your full Windows Live Hotmail address and password in the "Username" and "Password" fields, and then check the "Remember password" box. Click on the "More Settings" button and then select the "Outgoing Server" tab. Check the "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication" check box. Choose the "Advanced" tab and type "995" and "587" in the "Incoming server (POP3)" and "Outgoing server (SMTP)" fields and then click "OK."
