Can't use web emails....

[Alta]

I can't respond to web page emails like on Craigslist....I get the following
message. I see no way to delete my hotmail information as I must have made
a mistake when I set it.

The host 'hotmail' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered
the server name correctly.
Subject '82 Honda Silverwing - $1150 (Wekiva and Apopka)', Account:
'Windows Mail', Server: 'hotmail', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL):
No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D

Please tell me how to change it in simple terms and step by step. Thank you
so much. Alta

You can't access Hotmail accounts with Windows Mail, unless you pay for the
Plus account, which gives you access to the POP server.

If you wish to access your free Hotmail account, switch to the newer Windows
Live Mail program.

To fix that problem you can simply set Hotmail as your default email service:
