Hotmail mail server settings
Here are the common Hotmail mail server settings:
Incoming Mail Server (POP3):
- Server: pop-mail.outlook.com
- Port: 995
- SSL/TLS: Yes
- Username: Your Hotmail email address

Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):
- Server: smtp-mail.outlook.com
- Port: 587
- SSL/TLS: Yes
- Username: Your Hotmail email address
- Password: Your Hotmail email password
Notes:
- If you're using Outlook or Outlook Express, you can use the following settings:
- Incoming Mail Server: pop3.live.com
- Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.live.com
- If you're using a third-party email client, you may need to use the above settings or check with the client's documentation for specific settings.
- Hotmail has changed its name to Outlook.com, so you may see these settings referred to as Outlook.com settings.
- Make sure to enable SSL/TLS encryption for both incoming and outgoing mail servers to ensure secure connections.
Troubleshooting Tips:
- If you're having trouble connecting to your Hotmail account using these settings, try checking your email account settings in your email client or checking the Hotmail server status page for any known issues.
- If you're using a firewall or antivirus software, make sure it's not blocking the connection to the Hotmail mail servers.
- If you're still having trouble, try resetting your email client's settings or contacting your email client's support team for further assistance.
