Adding email accounts hosted by MS Office Live

Hi -

I have an @hotmail acct, a gmail acct, and several accts for domain names
hosted thru MS office Live. I set up the hotmail and gmail accts easily
enough in MS Mail, but how do I set up the accts for the custom domains?
Seems like they should be as easy as the hotmail acct, but when I try to add
them, MSMail asks for the ingoing/outgoing server info, and I have no idea
where to find that.

I know absolutely nothing about "MSMail". I don't think it has been
available for a couple of years. Because you are referencing "Windows Office
Live" could you actually mean, "Windows Live Mail"? There is a Wizard to add
accounts in Windows Live Mail. I am not sure how WLMail interfaces with
Windows Office Live; I don't use any MS Office products, neither the stand
alone disk resident versions, nor the online version.

Assuming you're referring to Windows Live Mail, then you set up your custom
domain accounts in exactly the same way as your Hotmail account. On the
second page of the 'Add an e-mail account' wizard, select HTTP. WLMail
should do the rest.

For Office Live custom domain accounts, set your account up as normally. For
the server informaion, use pop3.live.com and smtp.live.com with port #995
for the POP and port #587 for SMTP.
