Hi Dan,

Unless you have the paid version of Hotmail, then it will not work with Windows Mail. Windows Mail only supports POP3 or IMAP email servers, not HTTP website email. If this is the case, then you can switch to Windows Live Mail, it supports all three.

Windows Live Mail Beta

If you do have the paid version of Hotmail, then please post more details and any error messages you may have for us to use to help you with.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Re: pop3 server with hotmail

Windows Mail cannot access most Hotmail accounts.
Try the newer Windows Live Mail

Re: pop3 server with hotmail

I have a Windows live account. I have a business website and would like to
link that email account to my Windows Live account so that I can get all my
messages in one. Is this possible? I tried and it and got an error
connecting to the pop3 server.
I would appreciate any help. Thanks

Re: pop3 server with hotmail

It isn't clear what you mean by "link".
How do you currently retrieve email messages from your Live account?

Re: pop3 server with hotmail

Sorry about that. I will try to explain better...

I have a business website. Through my hosting company, I got an email
account. Their email software is not user friendly. So I was wondering if I
could get my email from my business email account to be delivered to my
windows live (hotmail)account. I tried putting in the pop3 info and it came
back with an error. I am not sure if what I am asking, can be done? Or do I
have to have the premium version.

If so, do I need to confirm with my hosting company the pop3 and port info?
