Adding protonmail to windows live mail

To add ProtonMail to Windows Live Mail, you'll need to set up a POP3 or IMAP account. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you do so:

Prerequisites:

1. You have a ProtonMail account.
2. You have Windows Live Mail installed on your computer.

Step 1: Create a new email account in Windows Live Mail

1. Open Windows Live Mail.
2. Click on "Email" in the top menu bar and select "Account Settings".
3. Click on "Add a new email account" and select "Manual setup or additional server types".
4. Select "POP3" or "IMAP" as the account type, depending on your preference.

Step 2: Enter your ProtonMail account settings

1. In the "Account Name" field, enter a name for your ProtonMail account (e.g., "ProtonMail").
2. In the "Email Address" field, enter your ProtonMail email address (e.g., [your_email_address]@protonmail.com).
3. In the "Password" field, enter your ProtonMail password.
4. In the "POP3 Server" field, enter mail.protonmail.ch (for POP3) or imap.protonmail.ch (for IMAP).
5. In the "Port" field, enter 110 (for POP3) or 143 (for IMAP).
6. Leave the "Username" field blank, as Windows Live Mail will automatically fill it in with your ProtonMail email address.
7. Click "Next" to continue.

Step 3: Configure the outgoing mail server

1. In the "Outgoing Mail Server" field, enter smtp.protonmail.ch.
2. In the "Port" field, enter 587.
3. Leave the "Username" and "Password" fields blank, as Windows Live Mail will automatically fill them in with your ProtonMail email address and password.
4. Click "Next" to continue.

Step 4: Finish setting up your ProtonMail account

1. Review your settings to ensure everything is correct.
2. Click "Finish" to complete the setup process.

Step 5: Test your ProtonMail account
