The Issue is that I am trying to set up my Windows Live Mail that I use with my personal e-mail to recieve my me@mydomain.com e-mail so that I can send and recieve mail sent to my website wihtout having to go to the /webmail page.

I used the ports, named the 2 servers and checked the boxes that hostgator FAQ and customer service told me to use but a host oof major issues and errors caused me to delete that e-mail address from my list.

Im hoping someone can tell me what I might be doing wrong. Thnaks

You should be able to connect to the hostgator mail server using mail.yourdomain.com, yourmailboxname@yourdomain.com, the password and the the default settings for the rest of it. That is an opinion. I don't do hostgator and I don't use live as I am still using XP.

so the servier name is my email adress with a "." instead of a "@"? I was using the word "mail" instead...let me try

EDIT: ok the mail is still stuck in my outbox and I havent recieved the mail I sent myself from another account. Still trying to figure it out

Still not working..

Since I know nothing about windows live I looked up this page for you: http://www.webdevelopersnotes.com/ti...mail_setup.php

make sure you change to the correct smtp and pop3.

I suppose you need to get their support involved in the process of solving this issue.

Are you trying to configure your email client?

I believe you need to follow the recommendations which your web hosting provider gives you. And there is no need to seek for additional help in this situation.

SOme how it got figured out by making a simple change.. thanks all for the advice

You are welcome. I'm just curious: what kind of change was made?

fter creating an email account you are given information about incoming and out going servers and your login password, try to use another software to organize your mail without going to your cPanel, for example MS Outlook.

I believe he need to get in touch with web host for this purpose.
