Gmail Incoming Mail Server (POP3) – pop.gmail.com (SSL enabled, port 995)
Gmail Outgoing Mail Server – use SMTP mail address provided by the local ISP or smtp.gmail.com (TLS enabled, port 587)
Hotmail – If one is using Microsoft Outlook and the Outlook Connector, he can define his Hotmail account just like any regular POP3 email account. The settings are as under –
