box. I have know idea what to put in it. I keep getting error messages. This
is getting very frustrating because i used MSN and it no longer supports it.

I don't know what you mean by "it no longer supports it".
When describing technical issues, please use the actual name of things
instead of the indefinite pronoun "it".

If you are trying to set up a MSN.com email account in Windows Mail,
read one:
Microsoft recently enabled POP access for Hotmail/MSN accounts.
Follow the settings given here:

Be sure to use port 587 rather than port 25 for the SMTP server.

Windows Mail's new account wizard is hard-coded to reject Hotmail
and MSN addresses. So, when you enter your 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.

Not any more. Mr. VanderMolen provided you with a link that has exactly the
information you need.
http://mailcall.spaces.live.com:80/Blog/cns!CC9301187A51FE33!49799.entry

"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"

However, pay attention to his tip about mail addresses. Trick the mail
wizard (for example, intead of (e-mail address removed), use
(e-mail address removed), then when the wizard is complete, go back to the
account settings, go to Tools, Accounts, select the account, click on
Properties, and fix your Hotmail address.

at. I have a email address already created. Im just having problems in
knowing what to put inside of the 2 fields.

Read the text at the link Mr. VanderMolen so kindly provided you.

You never confirmed whether you were in fact wanting to use a msn.com
email account. If so, use the information published at the web link I already
gave you. If after doing that you still get an error message, let us know
what it says.
