hotmail has made me bald
i have pulled all my hair out. i'm trying to find out why windows live mail and hotmail won't cooperate on my desktop machine. i just installed WLM and tried to set up my hotmail account with it. it just says type in your email address, then password, and WLM and hotmail should kiss each other and function beautifully. not the case. the server gives me the error message that breaks down to my email address not being valid. i've checked 100 times that it is correct. so i've found on some forums to go to my account properties and check the "My server requires authentication" box. however, under the properties of my account i don't even have an advanced tab. i've also tried manually entering the pop3 settings for hotmail. (why isn't that the default?) anyway it doesn't work. i would just say f it and just check my email via the website, BUT, my hotmail account works with WLM on my laptop. which uses the same wireless connection as the desktop. i have no firewalls on and no email virus scanning features turned on. what could the problem be? what is that server that contains "delta sync" that i can't connect to? is hotmail http or pop3?
thanks in advance
