'Authentication failed' when using POP3 with Hotmail
I've just set up a new Hotmail account and I created the new account in SeaMonkey but all I get is authentication failed. Server is pop3.live.com, port is 995, password is right. What's the problem?

What's the problem? The problem is that in the Account Settings, in Server Settings, in the User Name textbox, the username _must_ include @hotmail.com. And then, it works. -- Malcolm They should know they're the Grateful Dead now. -- Phil ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

What's the problem? TIA Wiseguy answer: You're using Hotmail!!! Serious answer: Wrong username? Some ISPs want to see the fully qualified email address, some want the prefix only.
