The mail service, with POP (pop3.live.com) works fine.

tell me how to configure aimbra manually.
i use version 1 but when i set up my hotmail it tells me account verisfication failure please check ur username and password!!!!!!
i do not find options in zimbra to set it up manually

[k.electron]

use pop settings if u want zimbra to work

* POP: pop3.live.com (port 995)
* SMTP: smtp.live.com (port 25)
o Note: make sure you check the box that indicates that your outgoing server requires authentication (in most mail clients this is not checked by default).
* Username: your full email address
* Password: your Windows Live ID password


REMEMBER that u cant save messages on the server, because zimbra folks dont care about hotmail users at all. ive gotten tired of asking for this.

Asking for fixes and RFEs in the forums won't get you anywhere. The correct place for those is bugzilla, did you ever file an RFE for the feature?

The bug report will be reviewed through the normal procedure and you (and anyone else that's interested) should also vote on it.

[k.electron]

bah. what a waste of time.

[k.electron]

omg! wake up and fix this. LIVE mail supports pop forever now. just freaking fix your xxxx and stop forcing a server mail delete.

Hi Mr. Electron,

I'm with you. The response is pretty poor. This isn't just some obscure provider...a lot of potential users are alienated because of this missing functionality. I don't know how the original bug (30643) was classified as an enhancement...it's a major bug, plain and simple; and a deal breaker for MSN users.

Cheers,

Well, posting a 'me too' comment in the forums will have little impact on the bug. If you're really in favour of getting it implemented then add your vote to the bug report.

Fair enough. I've done it and I really hope it helps.

The reason I didn't vote before was because I did not have faith in the process...I really don't know how the absence of a feature which locks out tens of thousands of potential users (IMO) could be classified as an enhancement (in the original bug).

But hopefully, support for Windows Live will be coming...it's a great product with lots of potential.

Btw, this isn't a criticism directed at anyone...the developers and the community which supports this software are great! It's just really frustrating when you've got a great product but it has one tiny deal breaker.

Thanks for your quick response Bill.
