Email attachments

[Sheila Mac]

Im FAR from a computer geek and im getting sooo frustrated!! Pls Help.
I am trying to attach photo's to an email and when i do, it asks for my
hotmail account name. I type it in and this msg comes up.
' Windows Mail no longer supports the HTTP servers used by Hotmail and other
web-based email providers. Click the back button to set up a different email
account.'
I never used to have any probs attaching photos to my emails.. and doesnt
matter
what i do, i cant seem to get it to work. What am i doing wrong ??

Is your Hotmail account set up in Windows Mail? Are any other accounts set
up in Windows Mail?

You can set up a Hotmail POP (non-HTTP) account in Windows Mail
using these settings:

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.
