No signup required. However, you will need to have a mail provider
that does POP mail. I see you posted with a Yahoo email address.
Is that your only email address? US-based free Yahoo accounts have
webmail access only, no POP access. Windows Mail handles POP mail
but not webmail. Yahoo solution is to pay Yahoo to get their premium
"Mail Plus" service:

and use the special settings for that service:

If you are OK with using a non-Yahoo email address, you have two other
solutions:
Use the email address assigned to you by your ISP, or
Get a free Gmail account.

how do i get a account name to open e mail

From which mail provider?
Your ISP will give you an email account, as will Gmail.

If you insist on having a Hotmail or Live.com account, you
will first need to upgrade to to Windows Live Mail:
