• 1. In Windows Live Mail select the Mail Account to be modified and right-click it to display a menu.

• 2. Select the Properties entry in the menu to display the Properties window.

• 3. In the Properties window choose the Servers tab. Make a note of the Incoming mail (POP3) server name and the Incoming Mail Server E-mail username.

• 4. Change the Incoming Mail (POP3) server name to 127.0.0.1 and change the Incoming Mail Server E-mail username to the original Incoming Mail (POP3) server name followed by a colon and the original Incoming Mail Server E-Mail username. So, if the original Incoming Mail server name was pop.example.com and your E-mail username was joe, your new E-mail username would be pop.example:joe

• 5. The password does not need to be changed.

• 6. Normally Windows Live Mail uses the default POP3 port (110). Since POPFile defaults to listening on port 110 it should not have any trouble classifying your incoming mail. However if you are using any additional email proxies with POPFile, such as certain anti-virus software, you may find it helps to use port 123 for communication between Windows Live Mail and POPFile. To make Windows Live Mail use port 123 click the Advanced tab and enter the new port value in the Incoming Mail (POP3) box. (To make POPFile use port 123 use the POPFile User Interface's Configuration page to set the POP3 Listening Port to 123)

• 7. Hit OK to close the Properties window for this account.

• 8. Ensure that POPFile is running and all mail will be delivered through POPFile!

• 9. You'll need to make sure POPFile starts whenever Windows does. If you're using the Windows installer version, the installer offers to create a Startup entry for POPFile in the Start Menu which makes Windows load POPFile automatically.

• 10. If you want to move email that POPFile has classified to another folder (e.g. move spam to the junk folder) see Moving Windows Live Mail messages

Important! If POPFile isn't loaded, the mail will not get through - and your email program won't connect!
