I run "Outlook Express" on Windows XP SP3 & need the name of the Microsoft POP3 Mail server to enable me to install my "[email protected]" e-mail account.

Original title : Name of the Microsoft POP3 Mail server to install my "[email protected]" e-mail account.

    Hi there

    I am having similar problems about setting up a live.co.uk account on my ipad.  Setting up a new account I get the following fields to complete:

    Name

    Email

    Description

    Incoming Mail Server:

    Host Name   pop3.live.com

    Username     my name

    Password

    Outgoing Mail Server:

    Host Name   smtp.live.com

    Username     my name

    Password

    When I click on next I first get the message "cannot connect using SSL, would you like to connect with out SSL"  I click yes and then I get the message "the imap server pop3.live.com is not responding.  Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the incomeing mail server. 

    The account was working fine on the ipad for a long time and then this started to happen.
