POP3 account in Live Mail

My ISP provider issued me a pop3 e-mail address which I also use besides
hotmail. Can pop3 e-mail address's be used in Livemail?

Windows Live Mail is like any other email client. It can handle POP3, and
IMAP4 accounts (and the secure variations of those). When you start the
Wizard to set up an email account, it will offer you the choice of POP3,
IMAP, and even the MS proprietary HTTPMail protocol (for Hotmail accounts).
In fact, WLMail apparently has preregistered a number of ISP email service
server names; if you enter your email address, WLMail will pre-select the
appropriate server name in such cases.

Re: POP3 account in Live Mail

Yes
If you are using Windows Live Mail,
Tools/Accounts/Add/Email/Next/<follow the prompts thereafter>
- ensure you use your isp provided settings

Note: Your posting properties indicate you are using Outlook Express(it can also setup your isp pop3 account)

If your query about pop3 in Livemail means Hotmail, you can add the account via the Hotmail web interface Options menu with the
ability to have the mail delivered to your Hotmail Inbox or a different folder in the web interface(requires the user to create the
folder). The user created folder in the web interface will not be accessible in OE.

Thanks to all for all your prompt feedback, I upgraded to Live Mail and
everything seems to be working just great.
