Add Mail Account settings for sending Armacrypt secure mail using Hotmail™ or Windows Live™

Using Armacrypt to send encrypted email requires an outgoing (SMTP) mail server.  Hotmail provides such a service and the following instructions outline the steps required to setup Armacrypt to use Hotmail's outgoing (SMTP) mail server. 

1. Click the "Tools" menu item on the Armacrypt toolbar and select "Accounts for sending Email" from the drop-down list.

2. Click the "New" button to enter details for the new mail account.

3. The "Account Description" field is local identifier for your mail account to differentiate multiple accounts.  The "Email Name" field is the name that will appear as the Sender of outgoing emails.  The "Email Address" field is the reply address unless you enter a different address in the "Reply Address" field.
   Enter the required information and click "Next" to add your mail server information.

4. Enter the Mail Server information required.  The Outgoing Mail Server address is "smtp.live.com".  The Account Name and Password are your Hotmail account credentials.  After entering the correct information, click "Next" to enter the advanced mail account settings required by Hotmail.

5. To finalise the settings for your Hotmail account you must select "Secure (SSL) connection required by server" on the Advanced tab.  The Outgoing Port number should be 25.  The Port number should change automatically when you select the Secure SSL check box, so you will need to change it back to 25.  Click "OK" or "Apply" to save you settings. 

6. Your account settings have now been saved.  Click "Close" to return to the main program, click "New" to add another mail account, or click "Edit" to modify the selected account.
