Follow the settings given here:
http://mailcall.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!CC9301187A51FE33!49799.entry
Use port 587 rather than port 25 for the SMTP server.

Although it accepts the newer Live.com addresses, Windows Mail's
account setup wizard is hard-coded to reject Hotmail and MSN addresses.
To get around that, when you enter your Hotmail/MSN email address initially,
use a fake one, such as (e-mail address removed). After the account setup is complete,
go back and correct your email address.

I itried your suggestion, Gary, but I got a message back saying the system
could not find the SMPT (587) server , and it did not work. I just want to be
able to send internet material by e-mail, but Windows Mail does not seem to
want to co-operate with my Windows Live Hotmail account. Is there an easier
way? Regards, Bob

It is likely that there is an error in your settings.
We can't help unless we can see the exact error message.

The host 'smtp.live.com (port 587)' could not be found. Please verify that
you have entered the server name correctly.

Remove the "(port 587)" from the outgoing server name.
Tools - Accounts - (youraccount) - Properties - servers

It should be
smtp.live.com

You can change the port number to 587 under the "Advanced" tab

Should I remove the port designation from the incoming server even though it
wasn't flagged?
I'm not sure about how or why to use the Advanced tab. I did not see any
instructions anywhere and would appreciate your help. Bob

SSL needs to be enabled on the Advanced tab.

You still don't have the necessary SSL option enabled.
Go to Tools, Accounts, select that account, Properties, Advanced,
then enable the SSL option (two places).

Got it, but got something I did not expect. All the Inbox from Windows Live
went into Windows Mail and that is not what I want because all my folders are
in Windows Live. Any way to keep the functionality of Windows Live? I just
wanted Windows mail to have a way to send internet stuff. Thanks. Let me know
if I can recover.

By default, most POP email clients will remove successfully downloaded
emails from the server. To change that default:
In Windows Mail, go to Tools, Accounts, select your mail account,
Properties, Advanced, select "Leave a copy of messages on server."

Looks like just what was in Inbox when Windows Mail kicked in went into
Windows Mail. Normal mail to Windows Live seems to be ok, and stays where it
should.
