Can i access outlook email on windows live mail

Windows Live Mail is a discontinued email client that was replaced by Outlook.com. However, you can still access your Outlook email account using Windows Live Mail, but with some limitations.

Here are a few ways to access your Outlook email account using Windows Live Mail:

  1. Manual setup: You can set up your Outlook email account manually in Windows Live Mail. To do this, follow these steps:
    • Open Windows Live Mail and go to "File" > "Add account".
    • Select "Manual setup or additional server types" and click "Next".
    • Choose "POP" or "IMAP" as the account type, depending on your preference.
    • Enter your Outlook email address, password, and other settings as prompted.
    • Click "Next" and then "Finish" to complete the setup.
  2. Outlook.com add-in: You can also use the Outlook.com add-in for Windows Live Mail. This add-in allows you to access your Outlook email account directly from within Windows Live Mail. To install the add-in, follow these steps:
    • Open Windows Live Mail and go to "Tools" > "Add-ins".
    • Click "Add" and select "Outlook.com" from the list of available add-ins.
    • Follow the prompts to install and configure the add-in.
  3. Web-based access: If you prefer, you can also access your Outlook email account using the web-based interface at outlook.com. This will allow you to access your email from any device with an internet connection.

Please note that Windows Live Mail is no longer supported by Microsoft, and you may encounter issues or limitations when trying to access your Outlook email account using this client. It's recommended to use the Outlook.com web-based interface or the Outlook desktop app for the best experience.
