    Hi all...
    i'm trying to set up an MS outlook email account with UPC broadband.
    i use mail.live.com for my email (at least i think so... the address is actually live.ie), so here's what i've been doing:

    User Information

    Your Name: My Name
    E-mail Address: *****@live.ie

    Server Information

    Account Type: POP3
    Incoming mail server: pop3.live.com
    Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.upcmail.ie

    Logon Information

    User Name: ?
    Password: ?


    what username and password should i use there? what else am i doing wrong?

    * POP: pop3.live.com (port 995)
    * SMTP: smtp.live.com (port 25)
    o Note: make sure you check the box that indicates that your outgoing server requires authentication (in most mail clients this is not checked by default).
    * Username: your full email address
    * Password: your Windows Live ID password

    finally got it to work ;) thanks for the port tip (995)!
    apparently you also need to tick the "encrypted connection" box for POP3...
    i'm still going with smtp.upcmail.ie as the outgoing server though :)
    not sure about the encryption there... i left it at Auto...
