HT1694 How to set up a Windows Live Mail email account?

I am attempting to set up my email account on my iPhone 4. I use a Windows Live Mail email account.
When I go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > Other > Add Mail Account > I enter all of the relevant details in relation to my new account which I am attempting to set up (such as; Name, Email, Password, Descriptopn) and then I click next > Then here is what I am not sure what to do next.
I am asked under Incoming Mail Server to enter a Host Name, User Name & Password. Under that there is Outgoing Mail Server and I am asked to enter Host Name.
My question is where do I find this information?
Thank you.

How do I sync with windows live mail 2011?

how Do I sync to windows live mail/contacts/calendar (not hotmail) on iphone4?

Windoze live mail is basically hotmail.
Microsoft followed Google's lead in this regard and now supports accessing a Hotmail or Windows Live Mail account as an Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail app. This provides for push access for received messages, and over the air syncing for contacts and calendar events with your Windows Live Mail online contacts and calendars. Instructions for doing this should be available via the Live Mail website.

How to set up passwords for two Comcast email accounts on Mail?

Have Leopard. Cannot set up passwords on Mail for two Comcast email accounts. Does anyone know how to do?

Hi Paul, & a warm welcome!
Lineone
Login
[email protected]
Incoming email (IMAP)
imap.lineone.net
Incoming email (POP3)
pop3.lineone.net
Outgoing email (SMTP)
smtp.lineone.net
What port & Authentication are you using?
Can you login with your credentials in a Browser using the same info?
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the exact message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.
The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server, or a server end problem.
If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.
The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
Outgoing ports are...
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

How do I transfer my Windows Live Mail contacts to my iPad

I've tried several suggestions I found on the web but withoiut success so far.

Open iTunes. Close WMP. Find the folders that contain your song files, and drag them into the open iTunes window.
The only problem you may encounter is if you have any "protected" WMA files. These are not compatible with iTunes.

How to i go directly to my inbox in windows live mail using firefox

I've tried what others have but they have used IE and the options are there from there silly Msn toolbar, but the toolbar is not compatible with Firefox. Please if anyone can help would be much appreciated.
Thanks Joe

What do you think about using a bookmark? If you display the Bookmarks Toolbar, it's a one-click operation. If you save the bookmark to the Bookmarks menu, it's a two-click operation. You wouldn't need an additional toolbar.
After opening your mailbox, you can drag the padlock icon from the left side of the address bar and drop it on the Bookmarks Toolbar to add the bookmark there. Right-click and choose Properties to edit the name if it's not to your liking. (If you don't normally display the Bookmarks Toolbar, you can show it by right-clicking a blank area of the tab bar and choosing it from the toolbar list.)
Or to add it to your Bookmarks menu, double-click the faded "star" icon after the right end of the URL (or press Ctrl+d) to open the bookmark dialog. Change the folder to Bookmarks Menu if necessary.
Now... I should mention that for this to work in the future, you would need to stay logged in to your mail site (using Microsoft's cookie) or have Firefox or your favorite password filling add-on save your mail login. Otherwise, your bookmark will be diverted to the login page.
Any luck?

Windows live mail and yahoo and iphone 4s

I have a business account with a yahoo.mail address. I rarely access this account through google etc so the most up to date contacts folders and emails are all accessed on my laptop through windows live mail. I just go an iphone 4s and naturally when I set up my yahoo account it has gone in to the yahoo account and downloades 5000 emails from the past few years!!! I deleted the whole thing off my phone and then went in to my yahoo account and deleted all the emails but how do I transfer all my current information from windows live mail/yahoo account onto my phone and/or my yahoo account on the yahoo website.

Google is a search engine, so I think you mean checking your Yahoo account via webmail access using a browser.
Since a Windows Live Mail account is completely seperate from a Yahoo account, I'm not sure how you are accessing your Yahoo account with your Live Mail account. If Live Mail includes an option to link with your Yahoo account, deselect it.
You can access your Yahoo account as an IMAP account with the iPhone's Mail app. When creating the account, select the Yahoo account preset and follow the prompts. The account will be created as a Yahoo account when using the Yahoo account preset. This provides push access for received messages, and over the air syncing for your Yahoo online contacts, calendar events, reminders, and notes.
A Live Mail account can be accessed as an Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail app, which provides push access for received messages, and over the air syncing for your Live Mail online contacts and calendar events. You should be able to get instructions for doing so via Microsoft's Live Mail website - the help area, or do a Google search for accessing a Live Mail account as an Exchange account with the iPhone.

Windows Live Mail and BT Mail

I have just set up a Windows Live Mail Account and linked lt to my BT Mail Account. I am receiving emails on both systems but if I send an email from either program it does not appear in the other system. Is this how it works or is their a way of sharing sent emails with both systems?
Am not conversant with email systems so would appreciate any advice.
Solved!

Have a read through this. It might help you to understand the difference between IMAP and POP email.

I cannot send an email with attachment from elements 11 via windows live mail 2012 on my windows 8.1 pc. Can anyone help?

I am using elements 11, windows live mail 2012 on a windows 8.1 PC. When trying to attach an elements 11 image to an email via the sharing option in Organizer, I get a message that the email message cannot be completed, and to try Adobe mail. I have set preferences to windows live mail, but no success.

Hi,
With Windows 8, the new message sometimes hides in the taskbar
When you see the spinning circle, look at the taskbar to see if the Windows Live Mail has grown another task. Hover over the icon on the taskbar to shown the two images, right click on the right hand image and then select maximize. That should show the message ready for sending.
Good luck.
Brian

Can I use iCloud to copy all the emails from the iPhone to Windows Live Mail on my PC?

My Windows 8 OS got trashed and I had to "refresh" it which involved losing all my Windows Live Mail emails (i.e. *.eml files in %AppData%). I have a backup from 18 months ago and most of my recent emails are on my phone.
Is there a way I can copy (en masse) the emails from my iPhone to my Windows Live Mail on my PC?
Thanks in advance.
Andy

Please ignore this question. Or tell me how to delete it.

Windows LIve mail 2011

I have tried numerous times to add my wife's new email address to her computer using all the guides on Xfinity/Comcast, all to no avail. She uses Windows 7 Live Mail 2011. I have Windows 8.1 and use the live mail that came with my computer and I had no probl;ems at all??

Are you saying you cannot create a Secondary account? To do so, sign in with the Primary username, click on My Account. Next click on the Users and Settings tab, then Add a User to create the secondary.
After that has been created...
Use that new username and password to set up a Windows Live Mail.
Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail, Outlook Express & Outlook 2000:
choose Tools
choose Accounts
go to the Mail tab
click on your Comcast account to highlight it
choose Properties
go to the General tab
under Mail Account, enter whatever you'd like to call this account, like John Doe on Comcast
under User Information, enter Name (whatever you want to appear on your messages)
enter E-mail address (your full Comcast email address)
check "Include this account when receiving mail or synchronizing"
go to the Servers tab
"My incoming mail server is a" POP3 "server"
Incoming mail is mail.comcast.net
Outgoing mail is smtp.comcast.net
enter your Account name or Email user name (your Comcast user ID, the part before "@comcast.net" in your email address)
enter your Password
check "Remember password"
make sure “Logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)” is NOT checked
check “My server requires authentication”
choose Settings
choose “Use same settings as my incoming mail server”
click OK
go to the Advanced tab
check both boxes for “This server requires a secure connection (SSL)”
change port number to 995 for incoming, 587 or 465 for outgoing
bump up the Server Timeouts slider to the high end
Note: With Windows Live Mail - Leave the box ticked which says, "clear text authentication"
Turn off whatever email scanning your anti-virus package is doing. Comcast already scans incoming email for viruses, and your outgoing email isn’t going to be infected unless your machine is already infected, so there’s no point checking it all the time.
