No, it's not.
Windows Mail is an email program, which you use to retrieve your message
from your email account.

Here is the trick needed, to set up the Hotmail, Live etc account in WM.

Start with a new account setup and use (e-mail address removed)
Setup the account with the correct server, port and SSL settings, (below),
save
it, ignore errors, then go back and enter the correct email address
and (e-mail address removed) or msn.com or live.com

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
