Setting up Live Hotmail Query
Can you please tell me how i have to set up my existing live Hotmail to enable Mailwasher to work. All i get at the present is : Connection to POP3.live.com and then a page that says, The operation timed out-no response was received from the server.

Hotmail settings are :
• POP server: pop3.live.com
• POP server port: 995
• POP SSL required? Yes
• User name: Your Windows Live ID, for example yourname@hotmail.com
• Password: The password you usually use to sign in to Hotmail or Windows Live
• SMTP server: smtp.live.com
• SMTP server port: 25
• SMTP Authentication required? Yes (same as POP3 username and password)
• SMTP SSL required? Yes
• POP server: pop3.live.com
• POP server port: 995
• POP SSL required? Yes
• User name: Your Windows Live ID, for example yourname@hotmail.com
• Password: The password you usually use to sign in to Hotmail or Windows Live
• SMTP server: smtp.live.com

Please correct me if i am wrong but i think what you have given me is the settings for the MAILWASHER programme. What i require is what do i have to set up in my existing Hotmail programme and how do i get to it to enable MAILWASHER to work.

Ah. As far as I can tell you don't need to do anything.
Getting that error back does imply though that MailWasher couldn't even connect, in which case I'd be checking the SSL and port settings.

I have checked and reset settings still giving message, The operation timed out-no response was received from the server. If i click on mail programme option it brings my Hotmail up OK but the Mailwasher is still blank. Any further suggestions please.

I have FIOS (fiber optic from Verizon) but they will not let you use the smtp to bounce emails back to the spammers, so I would like to use my hotmail account to bounce them back to the spammers but no success I use the port 25 smt[.live.com ssl etc etc but no luck can anyone solve this dilemma?
