I have been given a task which is configuration outlook to connect and access Hotmail. 
Steps of solving this task:
1-start-control panel- mail

2- Click on Add- then type the profile name that you want For me I write “Afoori”- then click ok.


3- Click Manually configure server settings or additional server types, then click Next.


4- Click Internet E-mail, and then next.

5- Enter your name, email address and for the Account Type there is either POP: Post Office Protocol or IMAP: Internet Message Access Protocol. For my task I select POP.

IMAP
POP
The IMAP protocol, by default, allows the user to keep all messages on the server. It constantly synchronizes the e-mail program with the server and displays what messages are currently present. All the actions performed on the messages (reading, moving, deleting...) will be done directly on the server.
The POP protocol, by default, is set to download all the messages from the e-mail server onto your computer. This means that all the actions performed on the messages (reading, moving, deleting...) will be performed on one's computer.
Because everything is kept on the user’s computer, the user will not be able to reopen messages from any location other than the computer where the messages have been downloaded.
Because everything is kept on the server the user will be able to access the e-mail in the inbox from any computer in the world connected to the Internet and can will always find the same settings in their e-mail account.
Once e-mail is downloaded it can be accessed only using the same computer.
6- Incoming mail server configuration:
Server:pop-mail.outlook.com
Port: 995
Encrypted Connection :SSL
User name: Your email address
Password: your password

7-Outcoming mail server STMP configuration:
Server: smtp-mail.outlook.com
Port: 25 (or 587 if 25 is blocked)
Authentication: Yes
Encrypted Connection: TLS
User name: Your email address
Password: Your password





8- Click Test Account Settings to check if the input configurations are correct or not.
