Get current MSN email working in Outlook Express?

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: pakenney38

Does anyone know how to get Outlook Express to send and receive e-mail from a current msn.com email address? Please - no speculations. I've done enough testing myself to find out what doesn't work.

Have you tried this?

Start Outlook Express.

Click Tools, and then click Accounts.

Click your additional ISP account name in the list.

Click Properties.

Click Servers.

Under Outgoing mail (SMTP): replace the existing server name with smtp.email.msn.com.

Under Outgoing Mail Server, select the My server requires authentication check box.

Click Settings.

Select the Log on using option.

Type your MSN user name in the Account Name box.

Type your MSN password in the Password box.

Select the Log on using Secure Password Authentication check box.

Click OK.

Click Apply.

Click OK.

I tried everything but the SPA, so I gave that a shot. It will not authenticate the user name and password. I guess I'll call MSN sometime and check with them. Thanks for your time anyway.
