You ask your internet provider; most internet providers include an email
account along with the internet account. 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 usually somewhere on their web site.
Or, you could tell us who your internet provider is and see if anyone
here already knows where to find the instructions.

If you want to use an AOL account, see here:

I understand you don't have your own ISP (Internet service provider).
Do you have an existing email address, and if so, what is the part
after the @ symbol?

If you don't have an existing email address, you can get one of the free
ones that has POP access. Gmail is good. Sign up for a new account
here: http://gmail.com
Then configure it for POP access:

Then set that account up on your Windows Mail:
