How Do I Setup An Email Address In Windows Live Mail 2011?

Description: The steps below assume that you have a valid, active email account already setup with SolutionPro. While you are in Windows Live Mail 2011, perform the following steps:

  1. Click Accounts
  2. Click the @+ Email button
  3. Type your full Email Address
  4. Type your Password
  5. Type your Display Name in the display name field 
  6. Check the box at the bottom: Manually configure server settings
  7. Select  POP from the server type dropdown
  8. Type in the following for Incoming Mail POP3: mail.spro.net
  9. Type in the following for Outgoing Mail SMTP: mail.spro.net

    NOTE: OPTIONAL If you have your own domain name and your email does not end with @spro.net, change the POP3 & SMTP server settings to: mail.yourdomain.com

  10. Type 587 in the Outgoing Server Port field
  11. Type your Full Email Address in the Logon Username field
  12. Click the checkbox Requires Authentication
  13. Click Next
  14. Click Finish

That's it!

NOTE: If you are unable to send email after you have changed these settings it is possible that your internet service provider may be blocking your outbound email for security reasons. Providers such as Cableone, Verizon, and Clear have been known to do this. If this scenario applies to you, all outgoing email support questions will need to be directed to your ISP. SolutionPro does not have the ability to manage outbound email restrictions set in place by an internet service provider.
