Pop3 mail Help by v700dys on 06-10-2005 at 01:59 PM
I have two hotmail addresses, the second one I tried to get MESS+ to poll for me.
What server address should I be adding to get my mail. NAME@hotmail.co.uk
If I add http://www.hotmail,co.uk or http://www.hotmail.com the TEST button works, but says the server does not respond
Please can someone help?

POP3 – mail.hotmail.com
SMTP – mail.hotmail.com
That should work fine, I found it somewhere on the internet, try that for the server.

Are you a subscriber to MSN Plus (NOT Messenger Plus!, MSN Plus is a Microsoft service)? I don't think you can check Hotmail accounts through POP3 unless you are a MSN Plus subscriber.

Yes so I believe!
Also found that Incredimail cannot access the mail either.

Typical Microsoft making users run the gammut of adverts to get their mail.
THANK YOU ANYWAY!
Just a query......why does Mess+ still have this now defunct feature?

Plus!' POP3 function is meant for any POP3 mail service, not only Hotmail
If your ISP has issued you a mail address and also provided you POP3 service with it, you can try

I'm facing the exact same problem. I'm trying to check my second hotmail adres, but i can't contact the server. I tried port 110 and 995 with multiple settings.
Does somebody know what the problem is by now?

Unless you pay for the premium services hotmail does not give you pop3 access, that means that you are unable to add other hotmail accounts to the Messenger Plus! pop3 mail checker.
