won't send messages

[amy]

I keep trying to send a message but I get an error saying that my server can
not be found with my email address that I have with windows. How can I get my
messages to send?

Who provides your email service? Or to ask that question another way,
what is the part of your email address after the @ symbol?
Your mail provider will typically have a web page that shows how to
set up an email program. If you need more help, tell us the name of
your email service provider. If you currently don't have an email address,
we can help with that also.

Please help. I am having the same problem and don't know how to find out
what servers my email account at live.com use. Thank you.

Try the following settings for Hotmail or Live accounts?


POP server: pop3.live.com (Port 995)
POP SSL required? Yes
User name: Your Windows Live ID, for example (e-mail address removed)
Password: The password you usually use to sign in to Hotmail or Windows
Live
SMTP server: smtp.live.com (Port 25 or 587)
Authentication required? Yes (this matches your POP username and password)
TLS/SSL required? Yes

In February, Microsoft enabled POP access for free Hotmail/Live/MSN accounts.
Follow the settings given here:

Use port 587 rather than port 25 for the SMTP server.

Another option is to upgrade to Windows Live Mail, which will set up your
Live.com account automatically.
