The Bat! – Gmail, Hotmail, and Hostgator Email Account Settings For POP3 and SMTP

By Cynthia On January 14, 2010 Under TheBAT

When I first got The Bat!, it took a lot of trial and error to figure out which POP3 and SMTP settings to use to setup my email accounts. It also didn’t help that there was conflicting information everywhere on what the actual settings are. These are my own POP3 and SMTP settings for Gmail, Hotmail, and Hostgator email accounts. They are working 100%, so there’s no reason why they shouldn’t work for you.

I’m currently using The Bat version 4.2.18 Christmas Edition.

When adding a new email account, don’t check use “APOP.” Never seems to work for me.

Gmail

Send Mail (outgoing)
SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com | Authentication: Check Perform SMTP Authentication, Same user/password as for Mail Retrieval
Connection: Secure to regular port (STARTTLS) | Port: 587

Receive Mail (incoming)
Mail server: pop.gmail.com | Authentication:  Regular
User: gmailusername
Password: yourpassword
Connection: Secure to dedicated port (TLS) | Port: 995

Hotmail

Send Mail (outgoing)
SMTP server: smtp.gmail.live.com | Authentication: Check Perform SMTP Authentication, Same user/password as for Mail Retrieval
Connection: Secure to regular port (STARTTLS) | Port: 25

Receive Mail (incoming)
Mail server: pop3.live.com | Authentication:  Regular
User: hotmailusername@live.com (or hotmail.com)
Password: yourpassword
Connection: Secure to dedicated port (TLS) | Port: 995

Hostgator’s Email Accounts

* This should work for other hosts, if not, ask your web host)

When adding a new Hostgator e-mail account, remember to check “My smtp server requires authentication for sending mail.”
