POP3 is not a valid server name. What happens when you use it depends on
what
your internet provider does with invalid server names. Ask your other email
providers for their instructions for setting up to use their email servers.
If they
haven't written instructions for Windows Mail yet, their instructions for
Outlook
Express should also work under Windows Mail as long as they don't call for
the HTTP protocol. The instructions are probably somewhere on their web
site.
Or, you could tell us who your other email providers are and see if anyone
here
already knows where to find the instructions.

Go to the Hotmail site and find the mail setup information for your mail
client.

Unless you have a premium (paid) Hotmail account, Hotmail doesn't
do POP. You will need to get Windows Live Mail if you want a
desktop client for Hotmail:
