Incoming mail server for hotmail account

The incoming mail server for a Hotmail account is typically:

• Server name: pop3.live.com
• Port: 995 (SSL/TLS)

Note: You may need to use a different server name and port depending on your email client and the version of Hotmail you are using. Here are some additional options:

• For older versions of Hotmail, you may need to use the following settings:
  • Server name: pop3.hotmail.com
  • Port: 110 (non-SSL) or 995 (SSL/TLS)
• For Outlook.com accounts (which replaced Hotmail), you can use the following settings:
  • Server name: outlook.office365.com
  • Port: 993 (SSL/TLS)

To set up your email client to use these settings, you'll typically need to follow these steps:

1. Open your email client and go to the settings or preferences menu.
2. Look for the "Accounts" or "Email" section and click on it.
3. Click on "Add" or "New" to create a new email account.
4. Enter your Hotmail email address and password.
5. Select "POP3" or "IMAP" as the account type.
6. Enter the server name and port numbers above (pop3.live.com and 995, or outlook.office365.com and 993).
7. Click "Save" or "Next" to save the changes.

Note: If you're having trouble connecting to your Hotmail account using these settings, you may need to check with your email client's support team or Microsoft's support team for further assistance.
