Is hotmail usable with KMail ?

[Rocary]

Hi :),

I’m used to install Thunderbird to view my e-mails on Linux.

I love the KDE Environment, so I wish to use KMail.

But I don’t find any documentation about the configuration of an hotmail or Microsoft account on KMail.

Is someone using an hotmail address and can help me ? :shame:

Thanks for your help lol!

You’re correct – there ain’t much – only the Office 365 and Exchange information – <https://userbase.kde.org/Kmail/Configuring_Kmail/Accounts/Office_365&gt;.
[HR][/HR]But, there’s the Thunderbird documentation for Hotmail – <https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-hotmail&gt; – which is basically all you need to setup KMail access to that account.

• Be aware, if your Hotmail account dates from 2016, there may be some issues which you’ll have to address if, you haven’t done so already – <https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1120891&gt;.

Funny feeling to post a link to Microsoft here ;-). The information above (https://userbase.kde.org/Kmail/Configuring_Kmail/Accounts/Office_365) are correct and up to date.

POP, IMAP, and SMTP settings for Outlook.com (works also for your hotmail account):
