How do I configure hotmail to accept messages from a non hotmail server,
pop-server.triad.rr.com?

Forwarded to MSN Discussion newsgroup via crosspost.

Hotmail Plus *might* include POP3 forwarding.

If you're running WinXP or Vista, you can access your Hotmail and POP3
accounts in Windows Live Mail (still in beta):

I have the Qwest DSL with MSN Premium service. This gets me a "free" Qwest
Mail by Windows Live account. This is the successor to Hotmail web access,
and Qwest seems to think it is out of beta. Under mail options, there is a
button to do this:

"Receive mail from accounts with POP3 access With POP3, you can use Qwest
Mail to send and receive e-mail from up to four e-mail accounts. After you
set up the account, you can create a filter to move messages sent to the
POP3 address into a folder..."

I assume that all Hotmail accounts will gain this ability, once they become
Windows Live accounts. Your mileage may differ.

Cheers,

Earle

Hotmail Plus provides the ability to access other pop3 accounts provided
those accounts permit pop3 access.
The Pop3 option is only available after confirmation of payment for the
Live Hotmail Plus account.

If SSL is required, it is suggested that the Hotmail account be
converted, if not already done, to a Live Hotmail account especially if
a different incoming port number(besides 110) and SSL
connection/encryption are required.

Thanks all of you for your responses but I still believe that hotmail can be
configured to accept non hotmail accounts having previously seen an article
describing the process (Cannot locate the source). What happened prior to
Live hotmail?

We're all getting older. ;^) I too "remember" having previously read
articles that I can never find later.

Afaik, Hotmail is turning into Windows Live Mail, or Live Hotmail, whatever
they want to call it, which can harvest mail from pop3 accounts. If yours
hasn't converted yet, there should be a button offering to do it for you.

Saludos,

Earle

Found a very simple way to do it. Just work from the other end and have your
non hotmail provider foward them to your hotmail account.

Except for those who were "grandfathered" in. I don't recall the cut-off
date.

For a Windows Live account using their webmail interface, go into
Options (More) and click on the "Send and receive mail from other
e-mail accounts". Read the instructions. Notice that what they are
offering in the freebie account is: (1) You can change the From header
in your outbound messages so they look like they came from a different
account; or, (2) Info on how you need to setup *forwarding* in your
OTHER accounts to get those mails sent over to your Hotmail account.
One just lets you change your From header (to a verified address).
The second is NOT a feature of Hotmail but instead only works if your
other POP3 providers include a forwarding feature.

Microsoft discontinued providing a "yank" option to pull mails from
other providers' POP3 servers for freebie Hotmail accounts several
years ago.
