old hotmail address.

I have a Vista Home Premium and you want to use Windows.i have an e-mail address Hotmail which I have used for years and do not want to change. Windows Mail doesn't let me add it because it is IMAP. She said OK in my Outlook Express on my old XP.

It is possible to add to Windows Mail with a little trickery.  When configure you it as a new account, under general, where you enter your email address, change slightly to ' * address email is removed from the privacy * "instead of what is the real '.com'.  We will answer to fix that in a few minutes.

2. under servers, select pop3 server

incoming mail: pop3.live.com

outgoing mail: smtp.live com

Click 'Remember password'

Click on outgoing server requires authentication

Then click on "settings".

again, changing a little "* address email is removed from the privacy *" instead of what is the real '.com', we will fix later

Enter the password and check "remember password", and then click OK

Now, under Advanced: outgoing mail SMTP must be 25 and click the server requires SSL

Incomping Mail POP3 should be 995 and click requres Server SSL

Click OK and APPLY

Now go to these 2 parameters we set out with a small trick and make your real logon credentials such as * address email is removed from the privacy * or * address email is removed from the privacy *.

Last thing... to go back and make sure that both the 995 and 25 settings are still defined the correct way.

Now work your hotmail account in Windows Mail

I did it like that for years, no problem.
