The host 'IMAP' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the
server name correctly.
Account: 'IMAP', Server: 'IMAP', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL):
No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D

"IMAP" is not the correct server name.
Who is your email account provider?

i have msn and gmail accounts

"IMAP" is not the correct server name.
Who is your email account provider?

IMAP is not a valid mail server name.
Who provides your email service? Or to ask that question another way,
what is the part of your email address after the @ symbol?
Your mail provider will typically have a web page that shows how to
set up an email program. If you need more help, tell us the name of
your email service provider. If you currently don't have an email address,
we can help with that also.

Gor Gmail, follow these instructions:

For your MSN account:
Follow the settings given here:

but 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.
