Incoming and Outgoing Mail Server Settings for Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, GMail, MSN, AOL and more

Why & when do I need these settings?

You need to send and receive Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, GMail etc emails by using a local email client software, such as Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook, Thunderbird. Here you can find the settings you need to configure your email software with the incoming and outgoing mail servers of your email provider (Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo! Mail or else).



Hotmail Settings

Hotmail and other web based email services use HTTP protocol to connect you to your mailbox, so your software must support the HTTP protocol in order to use these services. Some email clients, with builtin HTTP support are Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook.
