Use secure connection: SSL
do NOT check "use secure authentication"
OUTGOING

port 25
User name = xxx@q.com

1 edit | Thanx Mo. Just because Qwest doesn't "support" a certain application doesn't mean you can't take the info that is available and figure it out. Nice work. Appreciated. I think the port #'s should be incoming 110 and outgoing 995 though. Could you verify that for us?
Peace. |

Incoming ports for POP3 email protocol:
port 110 (insecure)
port 995 (SSL)
Incoming ports for IMAP4 protocol:
port 143 (insecure)
port 993 (SSL)
Outgoing ports for SMTP message submission:
port 25 (security optional, depending upon server configuration; originally intended for message transfer.)
port 465 (SSL)
port 587 (TLS, if supported by the message submission server.)
NOTE: Not all services offer all ports, protocols, or security (exept the secure ports requiring SSL: 465, 993, and 995).

said by molasseskat:Just thought I'd post this to help anyone out who might use Qwest/Windows Live with Thunderbird I just signed up with Qwest yesterday, and hate having different inboxes for different accounts. So this also works great with Outlook! Is there any way that a hotmail account can be set up as a pop3 account? It would seem that it would be running off the same "live" servers as the Qwest account. And thanks OP! - sheureka |

Should this work with a hotmail address on Qwest/window live account?
I lost all my q.com addresses associated with my qwest/msn account. I'm not going back to the q.com addresses. They seem too proprietary.

if your hotmail address is properly registered as the PRIMARY ACCOUNT on your QWEST/WINDOWS LIVE service, then YES, it should work
@q.com email addys have a 90 day expiration period after your DSL QWEST SERVICE is DISCONTINUED or TERMINATED
if within the 90 day period it is not RE-REGISTERED as a PRIMARY/SECONDARY account on a QWEST/WINDOWS LIVE account it can not be used again after 120 days
after that, anybody can sign it up as their own |
