As an international email provider, Hotmail and Yahoo have attracted a lot of users with a completely free service strategy and excellent stability. However, it is not possible to use Foxmail's mail client software to send and receive mail in Hotmail and Yahoo mailbox. In fact, as long as some necessary settings, we fully allow OE (Outlook Express) or Foxmail to send and receive pictures of Hotmail and Yahoo.
Application Objective: Transceiver with mail client software
Hotmail, Yahoo Mail.
Application software: Outlook Express, Foxmail
Operational difficulty: ★★ ☆☆☆
Hotmail mailbox
Transcend the message with OE Hotmail
Figure 1 shows "Hotmail" folder in the window
Because Hotmail and Oe belong to Microsoft, OE can charge a hotmail message. OE is similar to the setting of Hotmail mail and other general mailboxes. However, you must pay attention to two points during the settings: First, because Hotmail's mail is web service, so you can't choose the POP3 server when you select "Mail Receive Server", you want to select the HTTP server, then in "HTTP mail Service Providers Select Hotmail in a column. Second, when entering the mailbox account and password, everyone must enter the full mailbox address in the "Account Name", for example your Hotmail mailbox address is "aaa123@hotmail.com", then you must "aaa123@hotmail.com "As an account name, you cannot simply enter" AAA123 ". Finally, click "Finish" to end the settings. If you set it correctly, a "Hotmail" folder will appear in the "Folder" window of the OE. We can use it to send and receive hotmail emails locally (Figure 1).
Transceiving Hotmail mail with Foxmail
Considering the needs of many domestic users, starting from the Foxmail version 4.1, Bo Corpoia starts to add a Foxmail-Hotmail Proxy server to add the ability to receive Hotmail messages for software. During the reception letter, Foxmail-Hotmail Proxy plays a springboard. After receiving the POP3 instruction sent by the user, the HTTP mode is sent to the HTTP method, and finally returns the letter to the user in the POP3. Below I will introduce the way to send and receive.
First, create information from the "New" command under the Accounts menu, enter your own username, sender name, email address and other information. Select "Hotmail / MSN Account" when specifying the mail server (Figure 2). Since most users are only using this feature on their own computer, they generally fill in "localhost" in the "POP3 Server" column (please do not fill in the name "SMTP server", I will be here Everyone explains the reason), then fill in the "POP3 User Name", click "Finish".
Figure 2 Note Select "Hotmail / MSN Account"
When Foxmail is charged, you should find a flashing monitor icon in the Windows system tray, which means that the Foxmail-Hotmail Proxy server has started working. Since the Foxmail-Hotmail Proxy server is used, Foxmail will be slow when you charge a Hotmail message, and some users often encounter the "network operation timeout" error message prompt. For this case, we can extends the system's default 180 second "network timeout" setting in the "Options → System Settings → Connection Menu".
Unlike OE's Hotmail account, Foxmail does not directly use the Hotmail mailbox to send mail features. If you want to send mail with a Hotmail account in Foxmail, you must use the "Express" feature. This is the reason I just reminded everyone to fill in the "SMTP server" name when configuring. To use "Express", we must first click "Options → System Properties", enter the Mail Express Menu, and then fill in the DNS address in the Domain Name Server. Now you can create an email under the Hotmail account, then click the "Express" button on the toolbar to send it out. The following author provides several sets of DNS addresses for your reference: Shanghai: 202.96.199.133 202.96.0.133
Guangdong: 202.96.128.68 202.96.128.110
Beijing: 202.106.196.115 202.106.0.20
Yahoo mailbox
Since "Yahoo China" canceled the POP3 and SMTP functions of free mail, many users felt the inconveniences. In fact, as long as you use the "online direct investment" service to let the "Yahoo China" email reciprocate the send and reception of the client software. The so-called "online direct investment" service is actually in exchange for POP3 and SMTP functions by letting you agree to receive their advertising email. Below I will introduce the process of applying for "online direct investment" service.
After logging in to "Yahoo China", click the "Mail Option" bar in the upper right corner, then select "Account Information", after entering the Yahoo ID card, click the Edit button on the right side of the user information bar, in the Email Information menu Select "Send to My Yahoo Empty Address" in the drop-down list of "Promotions", click Finish.
Ok, now you are a member of "online direct investment" service, please write down "Yahoo China" POP3 and SMTP server address, they are: pop.mail.yahoo.com.cn and smtp.mail.yahoo .com.cn. To set up your account in OE or Foxmail, re-feel the convenience of sending up Yahoo mail with client software.
But for users of the International Yahoo mailbox (username @ Yahoo.com), if you want to get POP3 and SMTP functions, you must pay your bag, and the price is not cheap.
