How to add Mcmaster email in Windows Live Mail?
Anyone know how to do this?

I've tried following the instructions in this link but when it's synchronizing my folders it tells me "The server has rejected your login. Please verify that your user name and password are correct".

Thanks!

McMaster Undergrad don't use the MUSS system anymore, everything was moved over to the GMail system. Don't really know all the details for the new system since I don't use it anymore...

Ahhhhhh damn, that's what I thought was the problem. Do you know where I might be able to find the new server info?

You probably have to enable IMAP though. It's in the settings of your McMaster email account. When I look at mine it's set to disabled.

I'm fairly certain that they enabled IMAP and POP features over the summer. It wasn't enabled on GMail's side when they first started up the system but I believe they enabled it a couple months afterwards.

Then there's this: http://support.google.com/mail/bin/a...6&auth user=1

Are you trying to set up the ability to send from your Mcmaster email via Windows Live, or just to be able to receive emails directly to your Live inbox? I set up the sending option, but I had a few problems with forwarding emails too.

I'm trying to do both so that I have the same functions with my mcmaster email as I do with my hotmail, gmail, etc emails in Windows Live Mail.

How did you set it up?

Incoming server: mcmasterimap.mcmaster .ca

Outgoing server: mcmastersmtp.mcmaster .ca



Please turn on SSL encryption for both incoming and outgoing servers and use the following port numbers



Incoming port 993

Outgoing port 465



Make sure that you have the outgoing server to require authentication using the same credentials as the incoming server.

canadianvpk, nessareanna, Vessi all say thanks to TheBrickWall for this post.
