Server Type: POP
Server: pop3.live.com
Security: SSL Encryption
Authentication type: Password and remember password.

Sending Email tab
Server Type: SMTP
Server: smtp.live.com:587
Tick the box Server requires authentication
Security: TLS encryption
Authentication: PLAIN
Username: xxxxxxx@live.com
Tick the box remember password.

Notice the port 587, it makes the difference with the TLS encryption.
Hope this helps everyone! :)

Works like a charm (For those who can't find "Plain", just use "Login" on SMTP). "Plain" was no longer an option to select with the lastest version of Evolution

Hi there guys,

I have stupid problem. ;) My evolution is downloading like 7 times the same messages. So i have normally 2000 email on my mailbox but now in evolution shows 10000 just because it downloaded it few times. Is it possible to fix this somehow? Thanks a lot anyway.

Hi I've just started using 10.10 and i'm completely new to UNIX I'm having some problems with this HowTo. When I put the first step:

Code:

---

sudo apt-get update

---

into the terminal in runs through fine to 96%

then I get the message:

Code:

---

Media Change: Please insert the disc labelled
 'Lubuntu 10.10 _Maverick Meerkat_ - i386 (20101010)'
in the drive ‘/cdrom/’ and press enter

---

This is confusing to me as I have never used Lubuntu shouldn't the update work automatically?

Any help or explanation would be appreciated.

Thanks excellent post even though i didn't read it all i found all necessary information and then some. I must say that in my case the only useful was that instead of plain username you need to insert username@hotmail.com and it worked.

I just did this: http://pricklytech.wordpress.com/201...ows-live-mail/ and it worked...
