Help me get my Windows Mail!!!!

[LoriB]

I have a Windows live mail account (through my windows website)..it is NOT hotmail. How do I get my email on my Droid?? When trying to set it up, I chose POP Protocal (which I do not even know if this is correct..how do I find out what protocal I should be using?), I chose SSL Security because that is what is says on my mail login screen at the bottom. But Droid tells me this warning " CAnnot connect to the mail server to verify your account info. Your server is not responding." Maybe my popserver is wrong? I am not sure what I should be using there, either. This mail account is thru my website, which I mentioned, so the pop server is the name of my website....
Please help!!!

First of all welcome to the forum, LoriB! This is the way I set up Hotmail, so try it and use your Windows Live address instead. Seems as though it should work... it's worth a shot anyway.

EMAIL SETUP for POP3 ACCOUNTS: Hotmail POP3 (non-root solution)
1. From the home screen, pull up the applications tab (at the bottom of the screen)
2. Touch Mail
3. Touch Manual Setup at the bottom left corner
4. In the incoming server settings, enter the details as follows:
Username: XXXX@hotmail.com (enter your complete hotmail address)
Password: enter your hotmail password
POP3 server: pop3.live.com
Port: 995
Security type: SSL
5. Touch Next to continue to SMTP Server Settings and enter the details as follows:
SMTP server: smtp.live.com
Port: 587
Security type: TLS (and check mark “Require sign-in”)
Username: XXXX@hotmail.com (enter your complete hotmail address again)
Password: enter your hotmail password again
6. Touch Next
7. Fill out your personal information (Name etc.)
(If you are having problems be sure that WiFi is turned OFF then try again)

So I'm a student at Devry University and want to check my student email on my droid. Its provided by Windows Live...

So my email is XxxxxxxXxxxx@my.devry.edu

(looks just like windows live mail and you have to log into it the same way)


I tried the stuff listed above but maybe I'm putting down the wrong pop3 address?


If you guys could help that would be awesome. Thanks
