hello there people, i was hoping someone could give me a bit of assistance.

as the title of my post says... i'm having issues with sending emails from my desire via my hotmail account, there are no issues with me getting them as this works fine and the inbox is always full. i just can't seem to send or reply, i'm sure the settings are correct but i've added them below and would really be grateful for some help

incoming:

Protocol - pop

put email address in and user name put email address in again

put in password

pop server - pop3.live.com

security type - SSL port 995


outgoing:


tick log in required

put email address in as username


put in password


smtp server - smtp.live.com

security type - TLS

server port - 587

I'll be honest, I've seen loads of threads about hotmail recently. All I can say is personally I think its pretty poor. Have you thought about making the switch to gmail? You could even forward all your hotmail to it.

I agree with you m8, never got hotmail to work properly on my phone either, isp email works no problem as does gmail

i heard that for msn hotmail, you need to subscribe to their premium services in order to get pop service. but not sure about it though

Definitely used to be the case, but not sure if it changed recently. I always thought this was the case with UK.
