How do I change a e-mail server so i can send and recieve e-mails?

For an exiting email account?
In Windows Mail, Go to Tools, Accounts, select that mail account,
click Properties, Servers.
If you don't know which server name to use, who is your mail service provider?

Hey guys I have had an account set up with windows live for about 4 months
now, but I have been trying to get it to work. It has been asking me for the
incoming/outgoing server, and I do not know what that is can someone help me
PLEASE!?!?!?

First of all, there is no program named "Windows Live".
That is the group name for a whole suite of programs, see
http://get.live.com
In order for us to give you accurate help, we need to know the
exact name of the email program you are using.

I see you posted with a Yahoo email address. Is that your
only email address? US-based free Yahoo accounts have webmail
access only, no POP access. Windows Mail handles POP mail but not
webmail. There are two Yahoo solutions:

1. How did you access Yahoo mail before? If you are happy with
webmail via your browser, you can continue to use that.

2. Pay Yahoo to get their premium "Mail Plus" service:

and use the special settings for that service:

If you are OK with using a non-Yahoo email address, you have three other
solutions:
* Use the email address assigned to you by your ISP.
* Get a free Gmail account.
* Get a free Hotmail/Live account, and use it with the Windows Live Mail email program.
