[frustrated w/winlive and vista]

i am trying to send email from my hotmail account to be advised that window
live does not support HTTP email and i need to check my account
configuration. I have never had problems like this before i decidedd to use
windows live mail. Can someone help me "configure" for hotamil account?

Windows Mail (which is the topic of this newsgroup) cannot access any http
email accounts.

Windows Live Mail (microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop) can access
Hotmail/Live email accounts.
There is no need to configure a Hotmail account. Just enter your email
address into the setup, it will do the rest.
Tools - Accounts - Add - Mail - etc.

Did you finally get a solution as I am having the same problem. Please help
me, if you have not had a solution and I find a solution do you want me to
give you what I found out?

Free Hotmail and Live accounts have webmail access only, no POP access.
Windows Mail handles POP mail but not webmail.

The newer Windows Live Mail program does accommodate Hotmail and
Live.com accounts. You are welcome to upgrade to it:
