Hotmail pop settings
Here are the POP settings for Hotmail:
POP Server: pop3.live.com
Port: 995
Username: Your Hotmail email address (e.g. [yourname]@hotmail.com)

Here's a breakdown of each setting:
- POP Server: This is the server that your email client will use to connect to Hotmail's POP3 server. In this case, it's pop3.live.com.
- Port: This is the port number that your email client will use to connect to the POP3 server. In this case, it's 995, which is the default port for SSL/TLS connections.
- Username: This is your Hotmail email address, which you'll use to log in to the POP3 server.
- Password: This is your Hotmail email password, which you'll use to log in to the POP3 server.
- Encryption: This setting determines the level of encryption used to secure your connection to the POP3 server. In this case, we recommend using SSL/TLS, which is the default encryption method for Hotmail.
- Authentication: This setting determines how your email client will authenticate with the POP3 server. In this case, we recommend using Password, which is the default authentication method for Hotmail.
