Log in via a mail program

It is also possible to configure an email program. This allows you to read emails from your personal account on the computer without having to log in again and again. Depending on the system you work with, there are several email programs available. Windows windows is installed as standard on windows computers, which allows you to work perfectly. People with an Apple Macintosh will probably want to use the 'Mail' program. In the end, all programs do the same and configuring them is not that difficult.


Different email programs

There are several free mailprograms with which you can log in. In the first place you do not have to look far. By default, each system has an email client. When working with a windows system, the Windows Mail  program is  extremely suitable for use with Hotmail. Windows Mail is published by Microsoft which will automatically configure your email account. Nowadays the name Hotmail has been replaced by Outlook. You may have to indicate that you have an outlook address. In reality, this is exactly the same as Hotmail. You will not encounter any problems while logging in to Hotmail.

An alternative program for windows mail is outlook express, which is included with the paid software package Microsoft Office.

Apple Macintosh users can also use the standard 'Mail' program. From experience I know that there are regular complaints about Apple mail that does not work properly. Alternatively, you can use  Mozilla Thunderbird for free . Many paid alternatives are also available via the Appstore. Just search for 'mail client' in the Appstore.

Email program configuration settings

When you choose to use an alternative mail program or email client, chances are you have to manually enter the server settings. Look for the right settings on the help page  How do I set up my smartphone or tablet for Hotmail?  the same settings are also applicable for computer programs.
