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.

    Exactly the same is happening to me.  Same problems, same message.  Trying to set up Mail on new phone & it just won't let me!  I know my email address & my password and I can log on the email via pc with same address and password so why isnt it recognised on the phone?  Please help, it's driving me mad!

    ive tried all the other suggestions in this thread .. They don't work for me!

    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.
