I got Evolution to connect and download my Hotmail emails, but it will not connect to smtp.live.com for outgoing and times out. I should have checked “leave messages on server” before first connection and now have all my messages on Evolution and not on server, and now can’t forward the messages to get them back. Any ideas?

see very bottom of the article - you n longer need hotway as per below copy and pasted….

“Important Update

Re: HOWTO: Send and Receive Hotmail through Evolution
Installation of hotwayd as described in the first post is no longer needed. It is mentioned earlier in this thread, but that info gets snowed under because every time new posts are added…

Since some time now, you can use the following settings just like any regular POP account:

Code:

Incoming server: pop3.live.com
Username: your_username @hotmail.com
Use secure connection: SSL
Authentication type: password

Outgoing server: smtp.live.com
Server requires authentication: yes
Security: SSL
Authentication type: plain

With these settings, you should be able to get is working without going through the hotway daemon (on 127.0.0.1) …”

I have the same problem as Andrei. My terminal is exactly the same.

clay@clay-FX6800-01e:~$ sudo apt-get install hotway hotsmtp
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
E: Unable to locate package hotway
E: Unable to locate package hotsmtp
clay@clay-FX6800-01e:~$

How do I resolve this?

Do this setting also apply to other mails like the yahoo?

Before you go doing anything about the hotway, read the important update. You don’t need to modify internal system files.

Qwest email SMTP setting for newer or migrated email from Live

smtp.q.com:587
TLS
login

Works perfect for me.

I have had the same problem but the following settings work for me

Server Type: SMPT
Server: smtp.live.com:587
Server Requires authentication (Tick)
Use Secure Connection: TLS encryption
Type: Plain
Username: (My email address, obviously not going to post on here)
Remember password (Tick)

Hope that helps.

@nark0z- run the following command in your terminal and please paste the output.

sudo ifconfig -a

I guess I have been able to figure out where the problem lies exactly. Once you give the output I will be sure whether my solution is correct or not!

It wont work for me, may be due to my connection is via proxy which blocked certain site such as free webmail, any suggestion?

OK, port 587 does the trick for Outgoing mail. All is running! Now to try the Calendar. Any way to import data from Google Calendar?

Ha. I am receiving messages! Still not sure what did the trick. Can’t send though. Thanks again!

Hi Kenny,
I did try setting the ports and TLS. I will keep trying different combinations. Thanks for your input!

Hi Alfonso,
Have you tried the port 25 or port 587 with TLS.

Make sure you click Secure Connection.

Worked perfect for me, tho I can’t sent emails…
