I need help seting up my windows email account

Then you will have to provide a lot more information.
Who is your Internet Service Provider (ISP)?
Have they given you an email identity (address)?
Have you talked to their technical support, or gone to their web site?
Have you tried to setup Windows Mail and failed?
If so, what have your tried and what error messages did you get?
 
Cox Communications is my internet provider
My other email address is (e-mail address removed)
I can't find a phone # to call with y questions
I have tried to set up windows email and failed
 
So which account do you want to set up in Windows Mail,
Cox or Hotmail? Assuming the latter:

Follow the settings given here:
http://mailcall.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!CC9301187A51FE33!49799.entry
Use port 587 rather than port 25 for the SMTP server.

Although it accepts the newer Live.com addresses, Windows Mail's
account setup wizard is hard-coded to reject Hotmail and MSN addresses.
To get around that, when you enter your Hotmail/MSN email address initially,
use a fake one, such as (e-mail address removed). After the account setup is complete,
go back and correct your email address.
