how to configure outlook

[cohen]

i sometimes use windows live mail... because its the best that ive found... windows mail doesnt support hotmail anymore and there was a reason for outlook which i have forgotten

anyway i either use windows live mail or just login to hotmail...
i have my hotmail,gmail and aol accounts redirected to my windows live mail.

i used to use hotmail / windows live mail, but i could get yahoo at school, so i switched to that and i like it, i have my hotmail forwarded to that address and i have 2 x hotmail, 1 x yahoo (use for msn) 1 x gmail, 1 x ISP e-mail.

sign up online and then configure windows live mail for the account - put e-mail + password and your away.

what im trying to say is do you still have to go onto the weband enter your password to see your emails or is it just like outlook open it up and your away and it actually deletes your emails when you delete them

nah you can use your gmail account with windows live mail. and im pretty sure it will delete the mail in your gmail account... you wont have to sign into in online and change everything there too.

firstly you need to make a .net passport for your gmail account.
go to www.passport.net and under the "Use an e-mail address you already have" option, click "get started now.

do what it asks you there.. and once thats complete your gmail account should be able to be used for any function that needs a .net passport... including windows live mail.
at least this is how i did it.
also you have to sign into your gmail account and go to "settings" then "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" and then enable IMAP. although maybe you have to enable POP. not sure. do both

now it should work in windows live mail

If you go into windows live mail and delete a message it will delete it online as well.
