While we provide the option to redirect emails from your mailbox to a 3rd party email address – for example, sending a copy to your Hotmail address – this is sometimes not the best best way to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, all Microsoft accounts have the ability to log in to your mailbox with us and collect your email, allowing you to manage everything via your Hotmail login.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This option may be better than redirecting email, due to the way that Microsoft’s systems can incorrectly interpret mail headers and flag emails as spam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: <\/strong>You may also be better off using a mailbox directly with us. All of our Email Hosting<\/a> packages come with a full-featured Webmail client and plenty of storage space, which may be a more straightforward solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collecting names.co.uk emails via Hotmail<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Log in to your Microsoft account as normal, and click on the Settings<\/strong> icon to the top-right of the screen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At the bottom of the settings panel, click on the link for View All Outlook Settings<\/strong>. This opens up all the settings in a new window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Select the Sync Email<\/strong> option, then click on the Other Email Accounts<\/strong> link. This will allow you to manually add your mailbox details with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Before we start filling out any details, we need to show all the options. Tick the Manually configure account settings (POP, IMAP or send-only account)<\/strong> box to show all options<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You will need only 2 pieces of information here – the email address associated with your mailbox with us, and the password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fill out the settings options as displayed in the example image above, putting your own email address in the Email address<\/strong> and Username<\/strong> boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have Authenticated SMTP with us as well, click the Send mail using your provider’s server<\/strong> option, and fill out the Outgoing Server details as shown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click on OK<\/strong>, and your mail will now be collected directly by your Microsoft account, instead of being forwarded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t forget to remove the redirect from your mailbox here if you are collecting directly from the mailbox, as you will no longer need this option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you need any further assistance with this, we recommend using our Webmail<\/a> interface instead as it is specifically designed for use with our own Email Hosting<\/a> packages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
