Setting up an account for Windows Live Mail, Calendar and Contacts

Hey guys,
Very recently my university mail changed from the regular webmail to Windows Live.
The question is :
How do I set up an account for emails, calendars and contacts in my mail.app?
Also do I have to use entourage for this purpose or will the mail app be able to figure it all?
Thanks

You will need your email server addresses for the incoming and outgoing mail servers, your email username and password, and whether you need to use login security, POP or IMAP or Exchange account type, and any relevant port numbers. Then for Mail it's simply creating a new mail account and providing the above information where requested or needed. For assistance with the use of Mail select Mail Help from Mail's Help menu and search for relevant keywords. Same with iCal. In iCal Preferences click on the Accounts icon to configure an Exchange account.
My guess is that if you ask at computer services at your university they can provide the web page at which you will find configuration instructions for using different email clients.
I am not at all familiar with Windows Live but it appears that it may be a browser based information system meaning you may not be able to access it from Mail or iCal. Again discuss this with the IT people at your university.

  • How do I set up my email on Windows Live Mail on Windows 10

    Upgraded my Window 8 to Windows 10.  I also have a laptop with Windows 7.I am trying to set up my email (using Windows Live Mail) on the computer with Windows 10.  I typed in exactly how it is on my laptop, but it won't work.  Anyone able to help?

    If it will not verify, that means that one of the settings that you have done for the account is incorrect. Check back with the email provider to make sure you have all of the settings required, that they are correct, and lastly to make sure that you are entering all of the correct information in the correct places.

    1. Check windows updates.
    2. Try the Microsoft Fix it in this kb to remove previous install completely:

  • Revover emails from deleted account in Windows Live Mail

    Hello, I deleted my account in Windows Live Mail and tried the procedure to recover them from C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows
    Live Mail. 
    I also tried to Go
    to C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft and then right click on the Windows Live Mail folder and choose ‘restore previous versions’ but I had no restore point (the option to generate a restore point had been disabled in the past due to the low HD capacity
    of the PC).
    I also tried to scan all .eml files from the PC to lave the emails but I had thousands of them in many folders and I can't locate them anymore.
    I believe that deleting an account from WindowsLive Mails does not definitely delete all emails in one click so where can rhese emails be?
    Thank you

  • I can't add a tab for windows live mail , I am running windows 7 64 bit

    I can't add a tab for email for windows live mail to the tab bar, I am using windows 7, 64 bit . I can add it to the 32 bit o/s, but not the 64 bit.

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • The iPhone 3 and Windows Live Mail Calendar

    I have a few questions that I hope someone can answer.
    1. Is the Windows Live Mail Calendar compatible with the iPhone?
    2. If not, why not? Are there any plans for this to happen?
    3. If they are, how do I sync the two?
    Thanks!
    Richard

    Yes, it is compatible and it syncs over the air.

    I use Touchdown from Nitodesk for my work email. Its a little pricey, but it works with your companys OWA (Outlook Web Access) portal. They do have a 30 day trial that they insist that you try to make sure it will work for you before you shell out any money for the app. It syncs the Calendar, notes, tasks, emails etc.
    It has a discovery feature that it will figure out what it needs to configure. All you need to provide is how you log into OWA (Username/password, website) and the program does the rest. It works very well for me.
    No I am not employed by Nitrodesk. I only use the program. There was no need to ask my IT people to set anything up for me.
    Give it a try, it might work as well for you too.
     One day I will have to give this app a try, I am just use to configuring my device to sync without a 3rd party app but I have heard that Touchdown seems to be the best thing going to setup a corp sync process..

  • New iPad Calendar app and E-mail, Calendar and Contacts setting crashes

    The Calendar app has just started to crash. I cannot open the app at all, not even after forced quit. Tried to remove the calendar in the Settings app, but noticed that the E-mail, Calendar and Contacts section also hangs. What to do? It works fine my iPhone.
    Thankful for any help.
    Regards
    Sam

    I agree this is most needed, but also for the iPhone & iPod touch devices. They should also allow changing what day is the start of the week (instead of being stuck with Sunday). iCal actually allows you to have the week view scroll by day, so you are always looking at the next 7 days, versus some dates in the past.

  • Does turning off push in Mail, Calendar and Contacts affect only mail or all apps as well?

    Hey guys. I'm trying to save some battery in my iPhone here. So, when you turn off push in Mail, Calendar and Contacts, does it turn it off for mail only or for all apps? Thanks!

    I keep push for everything off. Just don't need/want "instant gratification" .

  • Windows live mail 2102 and Verizon yahoo email

    Hello
    I have been using Windows live mail and Verizon yahoo together for over a year
    I use Windows mail since I do like the Verizon webmail feel and format
    These two program have worked fine for me until yesterday
    Today we try to access yahoo mail using  Windows  live I get a series of errors .
    These errors include
    1) timeout
    2) wrong password
      Last night at the recommendation of VZ tech support I deleted my Live account and created a new one for the same yahoo mail address.   This worked last night as all me server email were downloaded for Windows live.
    However this morning when I access Windows love I get the same errors ay yesterday and no new emails since last night
    I have deleted my anti virus program to see if this solved the problem , however this had no impact
    Per VZ tech support I am using the correct port setting, I have tried alternative port setting  with no luck
    I would appreciate any help in fixing this issue
    Thanks

    I have had the same experience.  The answer is to disconnect your verizon email from yahoo email and then to setup your email settings as described in a recent announcement from Verizon that was sent to users that do NOT use the Verizon Yahoo servers.
    Anthony_VZ provides instructions in the Verizon Community Forum - Verizon.net topic.   I was so disgusted by the time I wasted trying to get support to answer the simple question of what settings I should be using that I was ready to dump Verizon completely.  I was eventually sent to Verizon Premium Support that would answer the question for $14.99 per month with a commitment of 10 months.  I have no idea if the Verizon Yahoo ports are even compatible with Windows Live Mail any more or not (nomal support is not "trained in Windows Live Mail").  How they can make something as straightforward as providing email client settings for a common client so difficult is beyond me.
    As you can tell, I am very angry about the time I wasted on this.  Disconnect your Verizon email account from Yahoo and life will be better.  Good Luck.

  • Google mail, calendar and contacts won't load but salesforce, facebook will - Help

    When I hit mail, calendar or contacts words begin flashing so fast you can hardly read them...loading, google, mail etc. in the space to type in a web address. On the screen itself, the word loading flashes on and off, On the tab there is the same very rapid cycling of words, loading, google etc.
    Other on line applications seem fine like salesforce, facebook etc.
    I have tried uninstalling and re-installing Firefox to no avail. I can get to my mail through Safari but not through Firefox.
    Can you help me?

    Never mind... It was indeed something simple that I missed (my icloud account was attached to an apple ID I didn't even know existed -- created for me?? ... fixed it - settings, icloud, sign out, signed back in as my actual apple ID).
