How to Access a Windows Live Hotmail Account with IncrediMail
Posted by computerhelpandsupport on July 7, 2009
Web-based access to Windows Live Hotmail is great, but a classic email client like IncrediMail has its merits, too. Ideally, you could combine the two.
With IncrediMail, you can by configuring email it to access your Hotmail account — if you are subscribed to Windows Live Hotmail Plus. Without a Windows Live Hotmail Plus subscription, you can use a tool like FreePOPs to access a free Windows Live Hotmail account in IncrediMail.
Follow the Steps:
- Select Tools | Accounts… from the menu in IncrediMail.
- Click Add.
- Choose Let me configure settings myself.
- Click Next >.
- Enter your name and your Hotmail address (“hmmzl@hotmail.com”, for example).
- Click Next >.
- Leave the user name untouched.
- Enter your Windows Live Hotmail password in the Password: field.
- Click Finish.
- Select OK.
Now you can use your Windows Live Hotmail account like any other account in IncrediMail.
