How to set up a live.com email account in SeaMonkey?

#1 Post by vmars316 »

I am editing over the original Post, so the answer is right upFront:

Here is the info that works for both Windows7 and PuppyLinux-5.3.3
From: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Hotmail
Please note the difference in Secure Commection between
Pop3 Secure connection: SSL/TLS
smtp Secure connection: STARTTLS
And User Name: Your FULL email address for both pop3 and smtp .
=============================================
Type: POP
Server Name: pop3.live.com
User Name: Your FULL email address
Port: 995 (this should be automatically set when you select SSL)
Secure connection: SSL/TLS
Secure authentication: normal password
=============================================
Type: SMTP
[edit]
Server Name: smtp.live.com
Port: 587 (you could also use port 25 if your ISP doesn't block it)
Username: Your FULL email address
Secure connection: STARTTLS
Secure authentication: normal password

Thanks...Vernon

Vmars- Hotmail's fickle. Aside from this- enable plugins for mail and newsgroups..

Hmm...
I sorry I don't know what a User-Agent is ?
I am trying to connect to live.com from my 'Win7 x64 Laptop'.
Works fine when I am running wlmail.exe ,
but trying to connect to live.com with seamonkey won't go.

What Puppy are you using? I have had issues with older versions of seamonkey being refused by hotmail. Either upgrade to a later version of seamonkey, or another up to date browser.

Using Puppy 5.3.3 & seamonkey 2.9.1

Pls, recommend other browser, and other email.

I am used to win7,
How do I delete Seamonkey from my computer ?

Thanks...Vernon

Vern- would you like to try an upgrade? Have emails you'd like to save?

Seamonkey's current main folder is /usr/lib/seamonkey, yes?

If my replys are slow
its because I have to Shutdown my win7 to BootUp Sclacko.

Sure I'll try an upgrade...Thanks...vm

Hey, when you're ready- you're ready.. don't sweat it.

While the upgrade was seamless for me, there's nothing wrong with back'n up your:

/root/.mozilla/seamonkey/*.default profile.

Dwnld to your directory of choice.

Clk to extract >> choose /usr/lib as the destination >> Done!

Now go'n retry that site of yours..

Semme,
Those downloads are for version 2.14
but I am running version 2.19 .
Are you saying that I should go back to version 2.14 ?
Thanks...Vernon

2.14 *IS* the current version. You meant you're running 2.9<POINT>1..

Seamonkey/email

Yes, I checked it again
in the Help/about says its 2.9.1

I also downloaded SeaMonkey-2.1.4.tar.bz2
and opened it in tmp/seamonkey/........

How do I install it ?
Do I first need to uninstal the 2.9.1 version first ?

Thanks...vm

The current install <sans ~/.mozilla/seamonkey> you're going to overwrite. Start from dwnld..

I am running "LinuxPuppySlacko5.3.3 from USB":
you're going to overwrite
Yes, but how do I do that ?

I have seamonkey-2.1.4.tar.bz2
And I see /root/.mozilla/seamonkey and all sorts of seamonkey Folders and Files.
And in XArchve I can see all the compressed Files.

So how do I get seamonkey in this format "seamonkey-2.1.4.tar.bz2"
into "/root/.mozilla/seamonkey" and all the other Folders and Files.

How do I install "seamonkey-2.1.4.tar.bz2"

I have read the "The Puppy Linux Book", but it doesn't cover this stuff.

Thanks...vm

ps: And after I learn how to install seamonkey from .bz2 ,
I'll need to know how to install "xfe**.sfs"

Still no go:
ErrorMsg: 5.7.0 "Must issue a STARTTLS command first."

The feedback i got is here:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/wind ... e96a2adf
I entered settings as specified, any ideas ?
Also, there is no box to enter in outgoing mail server in seamonkey: ie.: smtp.live.mail & no place for port25

Thanks...vm

BTW: I there a googleCHROME brower for puppy.slacko ?
I like CHrome the best anyways.

YES! There is a Chrome pkg for Slacko. Look for one here.

The rest I'll need time with..
