    Is is possible to implement the https://mail.server.edu (where server is the name of my employer) in Windows Live Mail so I don't have to keep connected to the school server over and over again to see if I have mail?

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    Try it out below mentioned steps and check if that helps you accomplish what you want.

    1. start Windows Live Mail. A wizard may run the first time it is opened. If the wizard does not work when you open the program, do the following:

    a. on the Tools menu, click accounts.

    b. page accounts , click Add.

    c. on the Add an account page, click e-mail accountand then click Next.

    2. on the Add an e-mail account page, do the following:

    a. the area e-mail address , enter your e-mail address.

    (c) in the display name box, enter your full name.

    d. Select manually configure e-mail account settingsand then click Next.

    3. on the next page of the wizard, under incoming server information, do the following:

    a. in the dropdown under incoming mail server is a Server, select IMAP or POP3. You can use the IMAP protocol because it supports more features.

    b. under incoming server, enter the name of the POP3 or IMAP4 server. If you access your e-mail account online using the outlook.com Web site, enter outlook.com for the POP or IMAP server name.

    c. Select this server requires a secure connection (SSL).

    e. under (if different from the e-mail address) login ID, type your full e-mail address.

    a. under outgoing server, enter the name of the SMTP server. If you access your e-mail online account using the outlook.com Web site, you can find the SMTP server name by signing in to your e-mail account to the following address: http://outlook.com. After logging in successfully, click the drop-down arrow next to the help question mark, and then click on to words. You must enter the name of the Server SMTP is listed in the page on under external SMTP setting. For example, if the about page shows the following, your SMTP server name is pod51005.outlook.com
    External SMTP configuration:
    Server name: pod51005.outlook.com
    Port: 587
    Encryption method: TLS

    b. Select the this server requires a secure connection (SSL).

    c. Select the check box next to out of my server requires authenticationand then click Next.

    5. on the page of your new account settings are complete , click Finish

    6. on page accounts , click close.

    7. If you are using IMAP4 and the dialog box Show/Hide IMAP folders is displayed, use the Windows Live Mail user interface to select which folders to synchronize between the server and your local computer, and then click OK.

  • How can I remove the Windows Live Sign In requirement for my windows live mail?

    Something changed in my installation of Windows Vista HP and I am now faced with a sign to connect to Windows Live 'request' every time I try to access my windows live mail.  (From the desktop icon).  I can click on through that connection and I will be headed to my live mail account (without entering any information of personal password) so I have no idea what use this sign is actually - but it's PRETTY! boring.  All he seems to do is add more clicks for me to be able to do what I had previously been able to.   BING was not very helpful to help me find a way to turn off this annoying 'feature'.   I tried to use the program on Windows Essentials items removal (all except the direct mail) but this did not help.  Where can I fo to disable this pop-up window?  (And of course, I don't want to lose my current e-mail settings or messages!)

    The sign is in Windows Live (contacts, calendar, photo upload) services.
    Contacts and calendar will be synchronized with the calendar and the active contacts.  When
    do not sign, stored locally, calendar and contacts not synchronized will be
    used.
    In 2009 WLMail, Alt + T, Options, connection tab, stop signing in.
    WLMail 2011, Alt + F, Options, e-mail, connection tab, stop signing in.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Step 1:

    You try to perform a System Restore .

    System Restore can return programs and system files from your PC to a time where everything worked, potentially prevent hours of troubleshooting of headaches. This will not affect your documents, images or other data.

    Step 2:

    Now, install the updates in a clean boot State.

    Clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow step 3 from the link to start the computer to a Normal startup mode.

    Please post with the State of the question.

  • cannot access my original Windows Live Mail account

    I signed n additional Windows Live Hotmail, skydrive etc I thought that he would give a private e-mail account and added the private storage.  Now I can't access my original windows live account email... and that's where all my emails be sent to present so I need!

    Open Windows Live Mail and click on profile.  Then click on the button black options up next to the help option (not the options button in the profile) and then click More Options.  Click linked IDS.  Then click on link an Exlisting Live ID and follow the instructions to add your ID of origin linked to it.  There are some links on how to switch between accounts in Mange bound ID that you will see if you will have instructions on how to access your old account as well as your new account - or just after if you have problems doing but I think that it is relatively simple.

    I hope this helps.
