I know there are a lot of similar posts so if someone can direct me to an answer that would be great.
I've set up the addon and hotmail extension with SMTP and POP both using port 25 (on win XP). I also tried other ports for POP. I'm using 3 email accounts, one hotmail, one gmail and one private server. They all send mail fine, and hotmail is the only one that can't receive mail. The hotmail password seems to be working fine (since I can send mail) and there are no error messages when I try to get mail. But of course I don't get any new messages downloaded to my inbox! I'm not sure where I've gone wrong. I've checked the server settings and SMTP settings and they both use localhost port 25 with my username as my email address. I wondered if password encryption settings make a difference? At the moment I have "Connection security: SSL/TLS" and "Authentication method: Normal password". p.s. I can receive mails using pop3.live.com but then it does not download Junk mail or retrieve the x-folder header.
