# Hotmail Settings
As other web based email services, Hotmail is using the HTTP protocol
for connecting you to your mailbox. If you want to send and receive
Hotmail emails using an email client software, then your software must
support Hotmail HTTP access for your email account. Some email clients,
such as Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook, offer builtin support for
Hotmail accounts, so you only have to select HTTP when you are asked to
select your email account type and select Hotmail as the HTTP Mail
Service Provider.
Mail Server Settings for Hotmail using the Microsoft Outlook Connector
If you are using Microsoft Outlook & the Outlook Connector, you can
define your Hotmail account just like any regular POP3 email account:
Hotmail Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop3.live.com (logon using
Secure Password Authentification - SPA, mail server port: 995)
Hotmail Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - smtp.live.com (SSL enabled, port 25)
