  1. Start Windows Live Mail. On the left-hand side, click ADD AN E-MAIL ACCOUNT. If this option is not readily viewable, you may need to scroll down or click on MAIL to find it.

    -> Log On Using: Clear Text Authentication
    -> Port: 110
    -> Login ID: your email username
    -> Check My Server Requires Authentication
