Hi, I see this forum is not too recent, my problem is that I have outlook but had to keep windows live mail because of one of my hotmail accounts only works there, however,
I receive and send emails from it, I forgot the password, and I would like to set this account in outlook but I can't, and I don't
want to messy with the until now working windows live mail, is there a way to transfer this email account from windows live mail to outlook? I have windows 7 but office 365.
Hi Elsa,
This forum has been around a long time. Sometimes you'll find conversations that are many years old. No worries, we're still here
Why do you think that at least one of your Hotmail accounts only works with Windows Live Mail?
If you want to use a Hotmail or Outlook.com account with Microsoft Outlook you shouldn't have any trouble using ActiveSync or setting up with the Hotmail IMAP Server Settings.
If you have 2 step logins enabled you'll need to create an application password (Hotmail) for any email programs that don't support 2FA.
Please let us know if you have any questions about getting setup in Microsoft Outlook with that information.
