pop3.live.com is not working what does this line means?

"Need Help", okay and what sort of help do you need?
"is not working" is not, in any way, a helpful description of any kind of a problem.

Change the host to "smtp.live.com" and port to "587" and check

1 solution

Are you sure you are using the correct settings regarding ports etc.?

See here for details: Setting Up Live.com Pop and SMTP Internet Email Account Settings[^].

Here an excerpt from the page above:

Incoming: pop3.live.com
Outgoing: smtp.live.com      // User Name is your entire email address eg. : itproguru@live.com
password: YourPassword       // You need to turn on "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication"

Incoming Server Port: 995    // (Requires SSL)
Outgoing Server Port: 25     // (Requires TLS)



Regards,
