Handling of mailbox errors such as connecting to Hotmail using outlook2010 POP3

Many people have more than one mailbox, and generally have a work mailbox and a personal mailbox, because the work mailbox requires calendar and tasks, and may be used to outlook management. Of course, you can use outlook to manage your personal mailbox. Next let's take a look at how outlook connects to Hotmail:

If outlook is started for the first time, configure it as prompted, or go to the control panel and find "email" for configuration, because I have configured a work mailbox here, on this basis, I need to configure my Hotmail mailbox. in outlook, I find the account settings and create an email account. As shown in:

Then, select "manually configure Server settings or other server types" ----- "Internet email" as needed, and then enter the connection parameters of the Hotmail mailbox,

In the "mail recipient server is" list, click "POP3", type "pop3.live.com", and in the "send mail (SMTP) server" box, type "smtp.live.com "; enter the account name and password of the hotmail account. If you are not the only user on this computer, clear the Remember password check box. Make sure that the "use security password to verify Logon (SPA)" check box is not selected. Next, we need to click "other settings", set "use the same settings as the recipient" in "sending server", switch to the "advanced" tab, and the receiving server (POP3) select "this server requires encrypted connection (SSL)", and the port is changed to: 995.

Generally, you may have finished setting it here, but this is a problem. Now, let's test the account settings. Result: your server does not support any authentication methods supported by this client.

At this point, we need to change the settings of the sending server and connect to the server using TLS encrypted connection. The port is 587, as shown in:

However, after the preceding configuration, the system displays that "sending test email messages" is successful, but "logging on to the receiving email server (POP3)" fails, this may be the cause of some security software. you can disable the software before testing. Of course, this may happen not only when you connect to a hotmail mailbox, but also when you connect to other types of mailboxes or configure Windows Live Mail.
