What is the Hotmail POP server name and port number?

Question

I'm trying to sync up my Hotmail account with a newly-opened Gmail account. Everytime I try to add my Hotmail account, Gmail tells me that it cannot connect to Hotmail's server.

It automatically fills in the server name as mail.hotmail.com, and the port number as 110. I'm starting to think this is incorrect. Does anyone have any alternate ideas?

Answer 1

I don't think Hotmail allows email to be downloaded from it via POP, which is what Gmail uses to add another account to it.

Answer 2

Also I have this problem. I can't find the true server name and port number!!

Answer 3

Well when you sign Up for Hotmail. It will have to options. To have the email for free or to pay a couple of bucks. And to get it in outlook or one of those mail things you downloaded it it will have instructions. And it will tell you
