Setting Up Your Email Account In Windows Live Mail

(please note that this article shows Windows Live Mail 2011, the steps may vary in the different versions of Windows Live Mail)

Note - wherever you see 'yourdomain.com', replace this with your actual domain name (website address not including the 'www')

1. With Windows Live Mail open, click on 'Accounts' then 'Email' at the top left of the screen (note - if you don't have an accounts tab you are probably using an older version of Windows Live Mail, try going to 'tools' -> 'account settings' in your menu instead.)

2. A box will come up, enter your email address, password, and make sure to choose the options to remember password and manually configure server settings -> then click the 'next' button.

3. On the following screen, there are a few fields to fill out (see notes below). When you're done, click 'next'.
