Up until recently it was my main email account outside of work, but as I needed my own email while I was out and about, Hotmail lost its appeal as it was a web only email service and was only accessible by logging into the web\/wap site on my phone &#8211; a slow and frustrating process. <\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, Hotmail have now added POP3 support to their email services.  For those that aren&#8217;t up to speed on email jargon, POP3 is a protocol that lets pretty much any email program send and receive email. So now it doesn&#8217;t matter whether you&#8217;re using your mobile, <strong>iPhone<\/strong>, <strong>BlackBerry<\/strong>, Mail on Ovi, Outlook, Thunderbird or any other email program, you can now get your email where ever you want!<\/p>\n<p>To set up Hotmail on your phone or email application, these are the settings that you&#8217;ll need:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>POP Server:<\/strong> pop3.live.com (Port 995)<\/li>\n<li><strong>POP SSL required:<\/strong> YES<\/li>\n<li><strong>Username:<\/strong> Your windows live ID\/Email Address (myname@hotmail.co.uk)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Password:<\/strong> Your usual sign in password<\/li>\n<li><strong>SMTP server:<\/strong> smtp.live.com (Port 25)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Authentication Required:<\/strong> Yes (Same username and password as above)<\/li>\n<li><strong>TLS\/SSL required:<\/strong> Yes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not familiar with setting up email on your phone, most handset manufacturers can send the settings through for you.
