Configuring Windows Live for your iOS Device

Configuring Windows Live:

It is possible that the Mail app will find the email settings automatically, and set up your account. Apply the following steps first in order to try:

1. Go to Settings > Mail, and tap Accounts.
2. Tap Add Account, then Other, then tap Add Mail Account.
3. Type your name, your email address, your password and a description for account.
4. Click Next. The Mail app will try and find the email settings and finish your account setup. If Mail finds your email settings, click Done to complete your account setup.

In case Mail didn't automatically set up your account, then you will have to enter them manually. I think you may find the following table useful:

Settings Needed for Receiving Mail with IMAP

Settings Needed for Sending Mail (using SMTP)

Tap Next, then follow these steps:

1. Select either IMAP or POP. If you aren't sure which one to opt for, contact Windows Live.
2. Type in the required details (You might have a look at the table above) for Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server. Then tap Next
3. If your e-mail settings are correct, click Save to complete the setup. If your email configuration is incorrect, Mail will ask you to modify them.
4. In case you still can't setup the account, or store your settings, contact Windows Live.
