Set up Windows Live Hotmail in Mail: "In the past, you couldn't use Hotmail with the build-in Mail application in OS X (at least without third-party apps/plugins). But recently, POP3 access has become free for all Hotmail accounts, and you can now set up Hotmail in Mail; here's a little guide:
- Start Mail
- Go to Mail » Preferences, and click on Accounts.
- Click on the plus button (lower left) to add a new account.
- Type must say POP, and give the account a description.
- You must fill in the following information correctly or the account will not work:
- Incoming Mail Server: pop3.live.com
- Username: Your Hotmail address (with @hotmail.com, @live.nl or any other @live or @hotmail extension included)
- Password: Your Hotmail password
- Click on Continue
- Set the Outgoing Server to smtp.live.com, then click Continue, and click Continue again.
