POP3 SMTP Mail Server Settings

I don’t know whether you’ve ever troubled with the POP3 and SMTP settings of mail servers like hotmail (also live), gmail, yahoo mail, AOL or any other similar mail services. But I had to search for a long time for getting a solution for my problem. That’s why thought to share this when remembered about that. Really, when I was installing Microsoft office packs – several times I was thinking why these other services like outlook and all are coming with this. Literally I didn’t know what are the benefits or what for it used but yeah, now I know it pretty well.

At least some of you people might have thought to avoid visiting the mail servers (their websites like yahoo mail, live, gmail etc.) each time and logging in to see your emails. I was a person who was thinking so. I have told ‘then’ that outlook is a good way to avoid this. So I started (started my struggles in fact ) to set up my emails through outlook. It never worked. Then I learned that the proper settings are required for this. So I tried to collect the POP3, SMTP email server details for the mail server which I was using. But at that time gmail and live were not supporting outlook. All my efforts gone waste. But now its not the same situation here. Now a days people prefer reading their emails offline and sending and receiving emails when they get connected to internet ‘processing through the background’. I mean – while doing some other things.

So before setting up an email connection on your private mail service or with outlook express you need these details.
