Hostgator e-mail issue

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.

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.

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.
