your POP is your provider ( Example pop.sbc.global.net ) also make sure your
firewall isn't stopping it from working . I hope this helped.

If you don't work for Microsoft, it's unlikely you should have an
email address ending in @microsoft.com.

You should ask your email provider (who is probably also your
internet provider) for their instructions for setting up to use their
email servers. If they haven't written instructions for Windows
Mail yet, use their instructions for Outlook Express but under
Windows Mail instead. The instructions are probably somewhere
on their web site. Or, you could tell us who your email provider
is and see if anyone here already knows where to find the
instructions.

As always, your ISP or mail provider has the answers.
You are posting via Mediacom, so that is probably your ISP.
They have instructions for setting up email in Outlook Express:

Those instructions will work fine in Windows Mail.
