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

Follow the settings given here:

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.
