- Server Name: pop.live.com or imap.live.com
- Port: 995 (POP3) or 993 (IMAP)

- Password: Your Live Mail password
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
- Server Name: smtp.live.com
- Port: 587 or 25
- Username: Your Live Mail email address (e.g., [your_email_address]@live.com)

Additional Settings
- Authentication: Use the same username and password for both incoming and outgoing mail servers.
- SSL/TLS: Enable SSL/TLS encryption for both incoming and outgoing mail servers.
- Authentication Method: Use "Password" or "OAuth2" for authentication.
Notes
- Make sure to replace [your_email_address] with your actual Live Mail email address.
- If you're using a third-party email client, you may need to configure the server settings manually.
- If you're having trouble connecting to your Live Mail account, try checking your email client's settings or contacting Microsoft Support for assistance.
Here are some examples of how to configure Live Mail server settings in popular email clients:
- Microsoft Outlook: Go to File > Account Settings > Account > More Settings > Outgoing Server > My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication.
- Mozilla Thunderbird: Go to Tools > Account Settings > Outgoing Server > Authentication > Use name and password.
- Apple Mail: Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Outgoing Mail Server > Authentication > Use password.
Remember to always keep your email account settings up to date and secure to prevent unauthorized access to your email account.
