Hi,
When I tried to add an account of quasi-hotmail [1] one in the icedove.
POP setting
Server name: pod51003.outlook.com
Port: 995
Encryption method: SSL
SMTP setting
Server name: pod51003.outlook.com
Port: 587
The re-test process and password all passed, but once the account set
up. when I tried to send email, it popped up some waring.
An error occurred sending mail: The mail server sent an incorrect
greeting: +OK The Microsoft Exchange POP3 service is read
I tried:
IMAP setting
Server name: pod51003.outlook.com
Port: 993
The same problem.
Thanks ahead for your suggestions,
[1] I hate this email, kinda of... but it has thousands of email there
and for years. work mainly. so can't switch to other email. It's
window live one but didn't end up with .hotmail, rather something else.
My Hotmail account uses 'live.com'; Have had problems with it. It does
work on one machine but doesn't work on two others; I think they only
allow one machine to access the mail server, but that is just my
thoughts on it. :)
pop3.live.com 995
smtp.live.com 587
(ssl/tls)
I tried your one, it showed me: Login to server smtp.live.com failed.
I guess it's a different server?
I got the POP3/IMAP and SMTP info. from home.live.com, after login
mailbox, there is an option, for settings to access e-mail using POP,
IMAP, or SMTP.
POP setting
Server name: pod51003.outlook.com
Port: 995
Encryption method: SSL
IMAP setting
Server name: pod51003.outlook.com
Port: 993
Encryption method: SSL
SMTP setting
Server name: pod51003.outlook.com
Port: 587
Encryption method: TLS
It not works as expected, and auto-detect also not work as expected.
Thanks,
