mountaintree16 Posted June 13, 2011 ID:440610 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I found this out on accident when checking my privacy settings!When logged into Hotmail from the web;Go to:Options > More Options > Then under Customizing Hotmail on the right, click Advanced Privacy Settings.You will see this text:Using HTTPS for extra securityIf you often use public computers or unsecure wireless connections, consider changing your account to always use HTTPS. Go to HTTPS settingsImportant note: Turning on HTTPS will work for Hotmail over the web, but it will cause errors if you try to access Hotmail through programs like:* Outlook Hotmail Connector* Windows Live Mail* The Windows Live application for Windows Mobile and NokiaIf you only need a temporary HTTPS connection, enter "https" in front of the web address instead of "http".Excellent! I am very happy about this I'd like to see more email providers follow suit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountaintree16 Posted June 14, 2011 Author ID:440668 Share Posted June 14, 2011 No problem! I now have a problem logging out from "Windows Live Account" when I log out of my Hotmail but everything else logs out. This can be taken care of by clearing one's cookies though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted June 14, 2011 Root Admin ID:440730 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Firefox deletes my cookies every time I close the browser. Some people don't like that but I do - just means a bit more typing when you visit some sites and if you like the site remembering where you were at last time then it's probably not a good idea to remove the cookie each time.

mona7865 Posted June 15, 2011 ID:441188 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Thank you for pointing us out to those security settings, Montaintree. I use my hotmail account very seldom but I already changed my settings. As requested, some chocolate biscuits :They are utterly delicious but a disaster for your waistline .
