If you sign up for a Hotmail account while setting up the New Account of Outlook before installing Hotmail Connector, Outlook will help the Hotmail Connector download.

Set up Hotmail via POP3

If you need to log into your Hotmail account but don't want to install Outlook Connector, you can add it to POP3. In our opinion, using Outlook Connector is the best solution, but if you can't install it (for example, you can't install any more programs on your computer) then this is a good choice.

To install, follow the instructions below to set up a POP3 Gmail account in Outlook. Although this article focuses on Gmail, the installation is almost the same. The only thing you want to change is the Incoming and Outgoing server.

• Incoming mail server - pop3.live.com

• Outgoing mail server - smtp.live.com

• User name - your Hotmail or Live email address

• Username - email address of hotmail and Live

• Incoming Server (POP3) - 995

• Outgoing Server (SMTP) - 587

Just like Gmail, select TLS to connect synchronously. Then at the bottom of the screen, make sure you don't select the Remove messages dialog from the server after a few days. As such, your messages will still be saved in your Hotmail account.
