Open Windows Live Mail. Click Add an e-mail account.
Fill in your email address and password. Fill in your name in the Display Name: field and check the box next to Manually configure server settings for e-mail account. Then click Next.
On the following screen, choose either POP3 or IMAP for your mail server. Both are supported. For more information on POP and IMAP protocols, see these links:
Your Incoming mail server should be mail.domain.tld, where domain.tld is the domain you host with Fandotech. If you do not have a domain, use mail.offsitenow.net. Your Logon ID should be your full email address with @ sign and all. Your Outgoing mail should be the same as above. If you have any trouble, change the Port: field after Outgoing server: to 587 instead of 25. Check off the box next to My outgoing server requires authentication. When done, click Next.
The wizard is done. Click Finish.
If using POP3, click on Tools > Accounts.
Highlight the account under Mail that is the email address you just set up. Then click Properties on the right.
Click on the Advanced tab at the top, and note that under Delivery, Leave a copy of messages on server is checked.
Uncheck it and click OK.
Then click Close.
If you chose IMAP, this screen will appear directly after having created your account.
Any name on the list that does not have a folder icon next to it will not show up in Windows Live Mail. You can choose whatever folders not automatically subscribed by Windows Live Mail and click Show on the right.
A folder will appear next to the subscribed directory. When finished, click OK.
Note that if using IMAP or HTTP in Windows Live mail, you cannot use filter rules.
