Step-by-step guide

This article explains step by step how to configure an e-mail account in Windows Live Mail. The steps are explained by means of screenshots.

Required data

After you have created an e-mail address in the CodeOrange Control Panel , you can then use this information to set up your Windows Live Mail to receive e-mail.

Note: If you set up our SMTP server, but do not set a user name and password for outgoing e-mail, you will receive an error when sending: Relay access denied.

The server name for your domain can be found by re-storing the data of an e-mailbox in the Control Panel (without changes). Then you will see all the data including the server name.
Required information: Before you follow the steps, it is important that you have the following information at hand (which will be shown after you have created your address);
  1. E-mail address;
  2. E-mail user name;
  3. E-mail password;
  4. Incoming mail server;
  5. Imap or Pop3;
  6. Server for outgoing e-mail
  7. Gate

Set up e-mail account step by step

Step 1: Open Windows Live Mail and choose " Accounts " and then go to " E-mail ", the pop-up below will be opened; Set up Windows Live Mail 
Step 2: After you have entered these settings, place a check mark next to "configure server settings manually". Select "Next" and you will arrive in the screen below;

  • Do you want to use Imap? Then choose " Imap " (Recommended)
  • Do you want to use Pop? Then choose " Pop ";


IMAP: The e-mail remains on the server so you can access it from multiple devices. Pop: The e-mail is forwarded to your device. Does not remain on the server.


The following example is based on IMAP, if you want to use POP click on server type for " POP "

Incoming email (pop3 / imap)

Outgoing email (smtp)


Note, on the left: 
Incoming username is the entire e-mail address, with a @ 

On the right: 
Required verification must be checked. Port is 465 
Outgoing user name is your e-mail address with a dot instead of a @, so firstname.lastname@domain.com 

Step 3: After you have chosen "next" the account is successfully configured. You can now send and receive email. 

Windows and Live mail are in no way connected to CodeOrange, therefore CodeOrange does not provide support for the use of Windows or Live Mail outside this manual.
