Additional Tips
- Make sure you have a Microsoft account (formerly known as a Windows Live ID) associated with your Live Mail account. If you don't have one, you can create one by signing up for a Microsoft account.
- If you're using a POP3 account, your emails will be downloaded to your Outlook Desktop client and deleted from the server. If you're using an IMAP account, your emails will be synced between your Outlook Desktop client and the server.
- You may need to configure your account settings again if you're using a different email client or device.
