如何使用Hotmail POP3支持

By On January 20, 2009 Under Internet, Microsoft

微软的Hotmail在Gmail开放POP3服务过了那么久,终于这次微软在官方的Windows Live Wire部落格上证实将开放让普通用户使用POP3来收取邮件。目前英国、加拿大、澳洲、法国、日本、西班牙、德国、意大利及荷兰的用户已经能想用这项服务了。世界各地的用户预计将陆续在今年内享用这个服务。

其实,如果你身处的国家还没支持这个服务的话,只要到你的hotmail的个人选项修改你的国家成为上述的几个开放POP3的国家就行了(像我就修改成英国)。接着,你只要在电邮软件、手机或Gmail上,填入下面POP3的信息就行了。

POP server: pop3.live.com
POP SSL required? Yes
User name: Your Windows Live ID, for example yourname@hotmail.com
Password: The password you usually use to sign in to Hotmail or Windows Live
SMTP server: smtp.live.com
Authentication required? Yes (this matches your POP username and password)
TLS/SSL required? Yes

我终于完全使用Gmail来接收Hotmail,而不需要再依靠Hotmail的自动转发。当初免费电邮服务商不提供POP的原因是担心用户的流失。但是现在若再不提供这个服务的话,将很困难和Gmail超快增长率对抗。目前Gmail的43%年增长率,完全紧逼Yahoo及Hotmail。而Hotmail去年用户反而降了5%。所以对微软来说开放POP3完全是一个左右为难的局面。
