'Special' folder designation

By default, Windows Live Mail 2011 will not assign your Drafts, Junk, Sent and Trash folders correctly. To rectify this, go to the properties page of your account (ALT+S then ALT+P when viewing normal email) and under the IMAP tab, enter the following:

  • Sent Items path: Inbox.Sent
  • Drafts path: Inbox.Drafts
  • Deleted Items path: Inbox.Trash
  • Junk path: Inbox.Junk

Troubleshooting and Ports

  • Sending Error

  • If you can't send any email with an Error either saying that ' Server does not support SSL connection ' or similar try changing your outgoing port to the alternative Port 587 by Right Clicking your account and selecting Properties

  • Change port to 587 and Ok everything.

SMTP Port 587 is the alternate for (blocked) port 25

On the Advanced tab, change port 25 to 587, if your ISP blocks port 25.
