Hi Guys!

Misrosoft has launched its new generation email service with 5 GB space in the name of "live.in". It has pretty good features. So just go to hotmail.com and book your email asap b4 someone else grabs the name that you want. Lucky me, I got it with just my first name.

So rush...

May be its old news, but I am sure there still are a few who dont know about it and this is for them.

Btw, can anyone tell me how can I configure this with Outlook Express. I basically need the smtp and the pop3 address.

I think you can try Windows Live Mail ? The desktop email client which is from MS.

Link - *get.live.com/wlmail/overview

This is very similar to Outllok Express.

No need to go abroad for getting a live.com email address ! It is simple ;)

Here is what I tried (just 15 mins back !!),worked for me.

Went to *www.stayinvisible.com/web_proxy_list.html

Selected a site and tried the link you gave (*get.live.com/mail/overview) - thanks for the link :)

Now, I tried to signup, but for some reason, it showed js error etc and was not success. But in the address bar (not in browser's address bar, but in the proxy sites bar), I got a link ! Here it is, too long

Click here to get live.com (not live.in) email address

Hope it works for you. Please post result after you try.

May be you can select any US state and use google for a zip code ;)

If you think its illegal, copy paste this post and save in ur PC, then press report button ;) lol

Thank you.

Update 1 . (For live.in email address, use *get.live.com/mail/overview as it will auto detect country.)

Update 2. Use Windows Live Mail (desktop email client) for accessing your live.com email address, just like outlook express.

Sorry for making my previous post long, here is the direct link from my experience, no javascript needed

Click here to get live.com (not live.in) email address

The method iMav mentioned also seems to work, but that involves copy pasting a javascript in browser and teh source says FF is not supported. The above link is supported in all browsers.

EDIT - Sorry, some friends imed telling the link is not working in Safari. So change the above line to - it may work !! lol

iMav, I created the live.com and live.in email addresses using the link I posted. But I think it is not working for all / all browsers :( Not sure why.

Yes, as per the source, your method (js) should work in IE.

Others - try the stayinvisible proxy pages, I think it will definitely help.

OK, back to teh topic, have a question.

The Windows Live Mail (desktop email client) works for the live.com or hotmail or live.in emails. They are using pop internally ? Or its http itself ?

Just Registered myself a @live.com ID using a PRoxy server. :)

Here is the IP

66.153.203.218 Port 80

Configure Firefox > Options > advanced > Netwok > settings

Do not think so. Use Windows Live mail - desktop client, it is almost same as Outllok Express.

Yes, i too think so. You can download Live Mail Desktop Client using this

*g.live.com/1rewlive/en/WLInstaller.exe. Its small, just 5MB i think
