After reading this it appears that if a MSN Premium or Live account is in use, no workaround has been found short of the forward mail solution that was posted a couple of pages back, right?

Not So. When I use msn for mail I use Livemail. works fine. Update the autoscripts with the freepops updater, no problems. Premium I can't vouch for...

Thanks Mandrill. Believe it or not, I've got it working without any of the other configuration steps. This is what I configured.....
INCOMING
User name = xxx@q.com
Server name: pop3.live.com
Use secure connection: SSL Encryption
OUTGOING
Server name: smtp.live.com
User name = xxx@q.com
Use "Server Requires Authentication": TLS Encryption
The outgoing server would not work with SSL encryption. I selected TLS and "Server Requires Authentication" for SMTP ( smtp.live.com) and POP with SSL for the incoming server (pop3.live.com).
By the way, what do you know about Fencewalk and Peck Ya Neck?

I am very new to Lenux. I just installed this weekend.
Where does the pop3hot.com get entered? I tried it in a couple places and it only made it worse. I have it where it received the mail but does not send.I get a message like this,
Error while performing operation.
Could not connect to 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
Ebozzz - I can tell from the settings you showed me that msn premium must be a paid service - in which case you would not need freepops (for that account). However, you would need it for most other web-based email services. The only folks I know of that give you free
POP access to mail are (usually) your ISP provider, Gmail, or your employer.....something like that.....
Peace.

Windows Live Hotmail is now using HTTP, so can anyone tell me how to use that in evolution, btw i know this because i downloaded windows live mail on my win install and it told me so XD the new server is http://mail.services.live.com/DeltaS....0.0/sync.aspx
so yea, http support for evolution???
I guess you have to decide if you want all the crap that comes with downloading microsoft's version of how THEY want you to do things on a windows box ( hey, Vista's a huge hit, huh?) - or whether you just want to get your Livemail on your Ubuntu box. Don't get me wrong, I use XP pro on my production machine - but with my rules, as far as I can. I have the complete Office for small business suite installed, nice graphics, printers, scanners, external hard drives, media server, large sound system, etc...but I do not, and refuse to have, bloated, resource absorbing, driver conflicting, unnecessary, pseudo-spyware BS crowding up my pc, forced upon me by the manufacturer. I own it, I didn't RENT it from microsoft.
So, rant over. The guide I have presented will (and does) work very well on Evolution, and most every other mail client I know of, and it even works on Windows. (Without downloading anything - except freepops & a decent mail client, no outlook express!)
So, again, rant over, have fun. Good Luck. Peace.
