Have you used the webmail UI to log into your account using the same
login credentials?

You posted in the Windows 8 newsgroup which indicates you are using
Windows 8.

Please explain what 'using my Outlook account' means ???

Outlook is not an account it is program included in some Office suites.

Outlook.com is a web based Microsoft service capable of managing
Microsoft Account of the form - Hotmail type email accounts (Hotmail,
Msn, Live, Outlook.com) and 3rd party email accounts registered as MSFT
accounts

Outlook.com is also a domain for a Microsoft account email address e.g.



After identifying what 'using my Outlook account' means also identify

- protocol used for the *live.co.uk (POP3, IMAP, Exchange Active Sync,
Delta Sync, web interface)

Wow, I thought it was pretty clear:

- Have you gone to the web page and logged in through there with the same
username and password to see if it works?

That won't affect the EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol being used.
The hostname the OP gave for the mail server looks very much like those
used for EAS connects by MS Outlook 2013 (and perhaps WLM, too). The
domain name won't affect the mail protocol. You connect to the same
[regional] mail server no matter if you use Hotmail.com, Live.com, or
Outlook.com as the domain. Even with the mail servers having different
hostnames, you'll find a reverse DNS lookup points to the same IP
address. Also, when using a local e-mail client, you aren't connecting
to a web site but to a mail server. The domain name is just how you get
there, not what's running there. Many Hotmail users that got migrated
to Outlook.com (because they thought it was a requirement) now have
linked Hotmail and Outlook.com accounts: multiple accounts but using the
same mail service.

I have 6 Microsoft accounts: 2 Hotmail.com, 2 Live.com, and 2
Outlook.com. I have used POP, IMAP, Deltasync, and EAS, in that order,
to connect to all of them at one time or another. I use the same mail
server hostname for each one. To domain name is irrelevant other than
to find the host, and its the same host under multiple hostnames.
However, someone in the UK will be using a regional mail server in their
area or however Microsoft wants to setup load balancing for their
worldwide populace of users.

How are you ACCESSING your e-mail account?

Microsoft Outlook - a local e-mail program that runs on your computer.
Outlook.com - a web page to which you connect using a web browser.

At this point, I suspect you are using MS Outlook because the webmail UI
to your Hotmail account doesn't tell you to mail server it uses.

also identify the following:
- email client


sky.com


That is your ISP (Internet Service Provider). They provide the "pipe"
for you to get to the Internet along with their own services. If you
were using Sky's e-mail service then you would not be here asking about
Microsoft's Hotmail e-mail services.

So maybe I was wrong and you are not using a local e-mail client (MS
Outlook someversion) but are using Hotmail's webmail UI (i.e., using a
web browser running on your host to go through Sky's networking to
connect to Microsoft's Hotmail.com web site). However, if that were
true, you wouldn't know what was the hostname for the mail server on the
backend of that webmail UI.

- protocol used for the *live.co.uk (POP3, IMAP, Exchange Active
Sync, Delta Sync, web interface)


pop3


So now we're back to you using a local e-mail client or possibly using
one e-mail account to pull e-mails from another account. So is
"Outlook" a local e-mail program (Microsoft Outlook) on your computer?
Or are you using your Sky e-mail account to POP from your Hotmail
account (i.e., you are seeing your Hotmail e-mail's pulled into your Sky
account)?

Let's be really simple:
- Are you running a program on your computer to look at your e-mails?
If so, what is that e-mail program?
- Are you using a web browser on your computer to look at your e-mails?
If so, to what web site (URL) does your web browser connect?

hotmail.com has onedrive and office live integrated in same webpage.

Not even the remote bit relevant.

The domain @hotmail.com vs. @outlook.com has no bearing.
- they all (including msn.com, live.com) function identically as far
as the web server is concerned.

All web UI integrated services are identical too.
OneDrive (fka SkyDrive, Office web apps, People/Contacts, Calendar, etc.)

Fyi...there is no such thing as Office Live - discontinued quite some
time ago.

Technically there was no migration of accounts from Hotmail.com to
Outlook.com - the web interface UI was the change.

What did occur was the option (if the was
available) to switch the account from a
to
. Key word is 'available' since their can only be
one
(i.e. might opted for
before elvis@hotmail or live or msn.com decided to do
the same).
