1 How to add another account (not an alias account) to your Hotmail Submitted by Jess on Sat, 07/13/ :49 If you are using your Hotmail account for a very long time already, and as you are expanding your business, you might have accumulated other custom-domain accounts. And switching between s -- from your Hotmail to your company s, could be tiresome in the long run. The good news is, you can centralize your access to your Hotmail account. That is, you can receive your company s, you can send from your company s, while logged in to your Hotmail account. This is similar to Gmail's centralized mailing features described in this link [1]. In order to make use of this feature of Hotmail, you need the following information: The user names and passwords of the other accounts that you want to add to your Hotmail. The mail server names used by these accounts. For instance in custom domain s mail servers could be pop.yourcompany.com and smtp.yourcompany.com To add your POP/POP3 accounts to your Hotmail, please do these steps: Step 1: Using your favorites web browser, go to [2] and sign in to your Hotmail account. Step 2: Locate the small gear icon at the top right corner of your Hotmail page, click on it then click on More Settings. Page 1 of 7

2 Step 3: Then you shall get the "Options [3]" page. In the Options page, click on "Your accounts" link under the "Manage your account" group. Page 2 of 7

Step 4: Then you shall get a page listing all your email accounts already added and those alias accounts. Scroll down to the very bottom of the page for additional options.

3 Step 4: Then you shall get a page listing all your accounts already added and those alias accounts. Scroll down to the very bottom of the page for additional options. There you can see the buttons that you can use to add your other account to your Hotmail. Add a send-only account if you are forwarding from your other account, or if your account does not support receiving through POP. Add a send-and-receive account if you are sending and receiving from your POP account. Page 3 of 7

Step 5: Now, if your account is a POP/POP3 account, click on "Add a send-and-receive account" button to add your other email accounts to your Hotmail.

4 Step 5: Now, if your account is a POP/POP3 account, click on "Add a send-and-receive account" button to add your other accounts to your Hotmail. In the next page that appears, please enter your name or fill out the required information. Then click on Next for the process to continue. Page 4 of 7

5 Then Hotmail will setup the account for you by automatically detecting the servers for your account that you are adding. If Hotmail detected it successfully, then you are good to go. If not, then you will get the "Advanced options" page where you need to enter your server information manually. If all the information about your POP accounts are correct, then Hotmail shall be able to setup the account successfully. Step 6: Then Hotmail will provide you a way to filter how the messages received to the newly added will be stored. I suggest that you keep Hotmail's suggestion of automatically filtering the s to the custom folder named after your address. After making a selection, click on Save button. Page 5 of 7

6 Congratulations! You can now access your POP/POP3 account within your Hotmail. How to Send an Using the POP/POP3 Account After successfully adding your existing POP/POP3 account to your Hotmail, you can now send an from this POP account while you are still logged in to your Hotmail. That is, you can now customize the FROM address when you send an . By default, the FROM address is the original . So when you intend to send an FROM this POP account, click on the FROM address when you are in the Compose or in the NEW Message or NEW screen. There, you can pick which address will be placed as the FROM or sender address. Page 6 of 7
