You have to ask your mail provider what those should be. If it's working in
Windows Live Mail and is not an HTTP account then you can get all but the
password from Windows Live Mail:
Tools | Accounts
Select the account and click Properties and go to the Servers tab.

If you want to be treated as shouting and therefore receive fewer answers,
post mostly in CAPITAL LETTERS.

Just use the Windows Live Mail program... it's better than the Windows Mail
program that came with Vista.

Unless you're talking about the Windows Live Hotmail service, which you can
access with a web browser or with the Windows Live Mail program.
