Hi I have been trying to answer Lily's e-mails from micosoft for a couple of
weeks. I can't seem to send her anything by e-mail and no Phone # to call
her. All I want to do is be able to reply to people who send me e-mails and
I can't because message says: " doesn't not support Hotmail. Please help me
fix this. Thanx, V. Valentine
 
Do you have a Hotmail address that you are trying to set up in
Windows Mail? Windows Mail (out of the box) does not support Hotmail.
In February, Microsoft enabled POP access for free Hotmail/Live/MSN accounts.
Follow the settings given here:

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.
Let us know if you need more help.
