Microsoft opens POP3 and SMTP Hotmail / Live
It is a story passed very quietly ... we read here and there in some forums a few users who have tried and tested fact: Microsoft has finally opened POP3 and SMTP mail service Hotmail / Live.
Most likely the advent of Gmail and many other services with POP3 before, and then IMAP, open access their mail through a common email client, did reflect the Redmond.
What happens at this point? Just happens that if the situation were to remain so, do not make it necessary programs such as FreePOPs, MacFreePOPs and other services that allow to circumvent the problem of the "POP3 server closed."
We come to the operative with the steps needed to configure our beloved Mac Mail to get mail Hotmail / Live ...
