Add Hotmail and Live Email accounts to Outlook 2010

TipsMake.com - Recently, Microsoft is releasing a follow-up update of Hotmail service, promising to bring better webmail service. However, Microsoft's Outlook 2010 patch has appeared. How to login Hotmail through Outlook

Outlook 2010 version works with many different email versions, including accounts using POP3, IMAP and Exchange protocols. The problem is that POP3 and IMAP are synchronous emails, not the calendar and contact list as the Exchanges email. However, with Hotmail, you can synchronize your email, contacts, calendar and outlook with the Hotmail Connector. This will make it easy to view all PIM data anywhere. Please follow the instructions to help set up Hotmail and Live Mail into your Outlook 2010 account.

Begin

The easiest way to add Hotmail to Outlook is to set up Outlook Hotmail Connector (32-bit and 64-bit versions). Outlook is closed before proceeding with the installation as usual.

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. However, you will have to exit Outlook before installing the Connector, then re-login your information when you restart Outlook. So it will be easier if you initially install Outlook only.

Add Hotmail account to Outlook

Now you're ready to add a Hotmail account to Outlook. When you open Outlook 2010 you will see a green screen, click Next to continue

Select Yes> Next

If you already have an email account in Outlook, you can open a new account by clicking File> Add account

Enter your Hotmail account information> Next

---

Outlook will check your registered account, then automatically set up your account with the Hotmail Connector you previously installed

If you enter the wrong password, the popup will appear. Re-enter the password, select OK and Outlook will check your settings again

After the installation is complete, click Finish and check the Hotmail account on Outlook.

Welcome to the new Hotmail 2010. You will see a small note at the bottom of the window to confirm that you are connected to Windows Live Hotmail. Now, your email will sync with your Hotmail account, the outlook calendar and contact list will be synchronized with Live's calendar and list. That's the closest way you can get full Exchange without having an Exchange account. According to those who used it, that was great. In fact, Hotmail Sync seems to work faster than IMAP.

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.

Although Hotmail is not as popular as Gmail, it works really well when integrated with Outlook. If you are familiar with using Windows Live services, or want to try it out, the Outlook Connector is the easiest way to help screen activity sync with cloud computing. You are just one of millions of Hotmail users who want to sign in to their old Hotmail account in parallel with other accounts, this is the best option for you.
