I am editing over the original Post, so the answer is right upFront:
Here is the info that works for both Windows7 and PuppyLinux-5.3.3
From:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Hotmail
Please note the difference in Secure Commection between
Pop3 Secure connection: SSL/TLS
smtp Secure connection: STARTTLS
And User Name: Your FULL email address for both pop3 and smtp .
=============================================
Type: POP
Server Name: pop3.live.com
User Name: Your FULL email address
Port: 995 (this should be automatically set when you select SSL)
Secure connection: SSL/TLS
Secure authentication: normal password
=============================================
Type: SMTP
[edit]
Server Name: smtp.live.com
Port: 587 (you could also use port 25 if your ISP doesn't block it)
Username: Your FULL email address
Secure connection: STARTTLS
Secure authentication: normal password
Thanks...Vernon

Vmars- Hotmail's fickle. Aside from
this- enable plugins for mail and newsgroups..

Hmm...
I sorry I don't know what a User-Agent is ?
I am trying to connect to live.com from my 'Win7 x64 Laptop'.
Works fine when I am running wlmail.exe ,
but trying to connect to live.com with seamonkey won't go.

What Puppy are you using? I have had issues with older versions of seamonkey being refused by hotmail. Either upgrade to a later version of seamonkey, or another up to date browser.

Using Puppy 5.3.3 & seamonkey 2.9.1
Pls, recommend other browser, and other email.
I am used to win7,
How do I delete Seamonkey from my computer ?
Thanks...Vernon

Vern- would you like to try an upgrade? Have emails you'd like to save?
Seamonkey's current main folder is /usr/lib/seamonkey, yes?

If my replys are slow
its because I have to Shutdown my win7 to BootUp Sclacko.
Sure I'll try an upgrade...Thanks...vm

Hey, when you're ready-
you're ready.. don't sweat it.
While the upgrade was seamless for me, there's nothing wrong with back'n up your:
/root/.mozilla/seamonkey/*.default profile.
Dwnld to your directory of choice.
Clk to extract >> choose /usr/lib as the destination >>
Done!
Now go'n retry that site of yours..

Semme,
Those downloads are for version 2.14
but I am running version 2.19 .
Are you saying that I should go back to version 2.14 ?
Thanks...Vernon

2.14 *IS* the
current version. You meant you're running
2.9<POINT>1..

Seamonkey/email
Yes, I checked it again
in the Help/about says its 2.9.1
I also downloaded SeaMonkey-2.1.4.tar.bz2
and opened it in tmp/seamonkey/........
How do I install it ?
Do I first need to uninstal the 2.9.1 version first ?
Thanks...vm

The current install
<sans ~/.mozilla/seamonkey> you're going to overwrite. Start from
dwnld..

I am running "LinuxPuppySlacko5.3.3 from USB":
you're going to overwrite
Yes, but
how do I do that ?
I have seamonkey-2.1.4.tar.bz2
And I see /root/.mozilla/seamonkey and all sorts of seamonkey Folders and Files.
And in XArchve I can see all the compressed Files.
So
how do I get seamonkey in this format "seamonkey-2.1.4.tar.bz2"
into "/root/.mozilla/seamonkey" and all the other Folders and Files.
How do I install "seamonkey-2.1.4.tar.bz2"
I have read the "The Puppy Linux Book", but it doesn't cover this stuff.
Thanks...vm
ps: And after I learn how to install seamonkey from .bz2 ,
I'll need to know
how to install "xfe**.sfs"

Clk'n wait >> extract >> you want all >> OK >> choose dir to extract to >> /usr/lib >> open >> OK >> DONE!
Fire that bad boy up!!!

Still no go:
ErrorMsg: 5.7.0 "Must issue a STARTTLS command first."
The feedback i got is here:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/wind ... e96a2adf
I entered settings as specified, any ideas ?
Also, there is no box to enter in outgoing mail server in seamonkey: ie.: smtp.live.mail & no place for port25
Thanks...vm
BTW: I there a googleCHROME brower for puppy.slacko ?
I like CHrome the best anyways.

here.
