I am trying to set up my Windows Live email with either my yahoo or hotmail. I need help!! Anyone please!?

I've tried putting in the pop3 and the smtp #'s but still can't get it to work, can anyone help me with this, i need to scan documents and email them but dont want to go through the hassle of opening my own personal mail so we wanted to use Windows Live email as default, but can't seem to get it working. Can anyone help?

For yahoo mail you need upgrade to yahoo mail plus (@ $19.99 per year).to get the full pop3 service for access to Outlook,Incredimail, Thunderbird and others.


For more info on setting up your pop3 account see the link below.


http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/cl...


* Incoming Mail Server (POP3): plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com


Use SSL, port: 995


* Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com


Use SSL, port: 465, use authentication.





There is a free program called "YPOPS" it's not approved by yahoo and is not fully compatible some users can get it to work but most can't.





If you have “yahoo.co.uk” address some users can get free pop forwarding see below.


Click “options” (top right) on your mail page%26gt;mail options%26gt;pop and forwarding%26gt;


Set up or edit pop %26amp; forwarding%26gt;type in the address you want to forward to and


click save.


* Incoming mail server (POP3): pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk


Use SSL, port: 995


* Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smpt.mail.yahoo.co.uk


Use SSL, port: 465.





Note: In order to be able to send emails from outlook and others through/to yahoo (pop3) you need to pay for a yahoo mail plus account. @ £11.99 per year.

Hotmail changed to Windows Live Mail overnight??

Has anybody else's Hotmaill also changed into Windows Live Mail overnight and now you cannot change it back to the old Hotmail?? Is it permanent now?? No more good old Hotmail??
Hotmail changed to Windows Live Mail overnight??
Yep. The Man wins again. I kept my email with the "classic" view set up, because the new "Windows Live" sucks. Not that I'm plugging Yahoo or anything, but their beta system is much better.
Reply:it is Windows Live Hotmail.





Not Hotmail or Windows Live Mail. Get the facts right. Report Abuse

Reply:In fact, the change has already taken place on Monday. Seems like you havent been visiting Hotmail for quite sometime now.





Microsoft is revamping their websites. They are going to push Vista as well as advertising their Windows Live softwares. The change to Hotmail is just to accomodate their Windows Live Messenger 8.5 which supports new features.
Reply:The hotmail service, provided free by microsoft, has merged with Windows live mail. You can recieve email as you always have through Windows Live Mail, but you can also use ww.hotmail.com. The later allows for you to store your emails in the same fashion as POP email. Hotmail stores everything on their own server.
Reply:Yes they are changing everyone. They sent an email a while ago saying that.
Reply:I think u have a choice on to keep it the old way. i just forgot how sorry. oh wait i think i no. hold on. AHA. click on options and then u can change it to the classic version.

Reply:Apparently, Hotmail had already been rebranded to Windows Live Hotmail earlier this month, NOT Windows Live Mail. Windows Live got Hotmail from MSN.





However, it does not mean everybody can not use the classic interface of Hotmail. You could just click on options and change the preferences.





Look on the brightside: Windows Live Mail is still better. First of all, Windows Live Hotmail has a storage of 5 gigabytes and made to be faster. It even integrates to most Windows Live services now: Windows Live Messenger, Spaces, Calendar and Contacts! That's not bad.





Unlike the old-ish Hotmail, there's spell check and security.





Like I said, you can use the classic interface but you know how it would end up: it'll be permanent. It's the future.
Reply:Hey :D


Yeh, Hotmail has turned into Windows Live Mail... It wasn't instant there was a BETA stage and they decided to make it permanent... sorry :(


Mike
Reply:They revamp the whole system. They're doing to all the accounts...Now it's called Windows Live Mail...Sorry, no way to bring it back...Said it was permanent....
Reply:yeah...and after they accepted my sign on and password, I still cant get into it....bummer

Yahoo is still having some problems at the moment. Suggested cures range from Update Adobe Flash Player and Java script to clear IE7 cache, cookies, and browsing history. Different things seem to work for different people. It's causing attachments to not show, 999 errors where it won't let you do a particular action and some people cannot send receive delete or move mail. It's not just Vista either it's happening to some of us on XP. If all else fails go back to classic mail via this link. http://us.mg1.mail.yahoo.com/dc/optout?s... click yes when asked do you want to opt out. Hope this helps.

Is the new "windows live" version of hotmail made to intentionally NOT work on mac?

ever since hotmail switched it's look (a few months ago?) to this windows live i can't get at my e-mail over half the time... my address bar just cycles thru the same three or four http's... it's hit or miss if i can actually get to my mail... it's not my primary e-dress but i've had it for a long time and it's useful to me... IF I COULD ACCESS IT!!! this happens at different locations from korea to australia to california to wisconsin so it's not my ip.

How to force Windows Live Messenger 8.5 to open Hotmail in Firefox ??
Hehe I had the same problem. I managed to get StuffPlug 3 to work with WLM 8.5 using the method in this post:





http://www.stuffplug.com/forum/index.php...





"move the msacm32.dll file from %programfiles%\MSN Messnger to WLM's new directory"





So move the file from


C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger


to


C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger





If you're using Windows XP





Good luck!
