So I have a Windows Live email address that I would like to have in my Lion Mail app on my MacBook Pro. I can enter in everything fine but it automatically adds it as POP3 and I really don't like that.
When I set it up on my iPhone it wanted to do the same thing if I chose "other" from the list of email providers but if I set it up as a Microsoft Exchange account and used m.hotmail.com as the server everything works the way I want it (IMAP type support as opposed POP type things are always kind of out of sync when I go from check via email client vs via browser).
Anyway I was wondering if anyone was able to set this up right or would be able to tell me how to do it manually with what ports and whatnot. I tried the mobile server (m.hotmail.com) but that definitely didn't work.
Thanks.
(Also, I'm aware Microsoft states Windows Live/Hotmail does not support IMAP but there has to be a way to make it work like it does on the phone with Microsoft Exchange).
