MailMonitor question for hotmail account

I've found two pages with settings for hotmail:
http://www.firetrust.com/hotmail_pop3
and
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windo...e-from-app

Try both, or search on hotmail website for POP3/SMTP settings.

does it work with chrome , as mail reader?

Yes, you can enter the url as mail reader.

what url as mail reader? https://col125.mail.live.com/default.aspx ?

POP server: pop3.live.com
POP server port: 995
POP SSL required? Yes
User name: Your Windows Live ID, for example yourname@hotmail.com
Password: The password you usually use to sign in to Hotmail or Windows Live
SMTP server: smtp.live.com
SMTP server port: 587

i cant find true launch bar or mail monitor as process in task manager, or service, ... i am suspecting on my windows firewall but idk what to put on exclude list?

and one more thing, when i choose chrome.exe as mail reader, when i click on icon (while having those problems and stay unconnected to my account) it just open chrome with no adress no nothing... i hope this works when i connect and click it open my mail page...
