Where do I find my POP nad STMP server information to set up my e-mail account?

Who provides your email service? Or to ask that question another way,
what is the part of your email address after the @ symbol?
Your mail provider will typically have a web page that shows how to
set up an email program. If you need more help, tell us the name of
your email service provider.

You can set up a Hotmail account in Windows Mail using these settings:

Note: Windows Mail's new account wizard is hard-coded to reject
Hotmail addresses. So, when you enter your email address initially,
give it a fake one, such as (e-mail address removed). After the account setup
is complete, go back and correct your email address.

The above procedure sets up a POP account. If you prefer a HTTP account
(which keeps all folders synchronized with the server), upgrade to Windows
Live Mail (WLM): http://download.live.com/wlmail
The WLM installer will automatically configure your Hotmail account for you
after you give it your Hotmail address.

If you want to access your Hotmail account....

You can use the newer Windows Live Mail to access your http Live/Hotmail
accounts like you may have using Outlook Express on XP.

or, you can use either Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail to access POP3 or
IMAP accounts.
MS recently added POP3 access to Hotmail/Live accounts from most countries.
