WM will not let you set up any HTTP type account.
Do the following to trick it.

Here is the trick needed, to set up the Hotmail, Live, msn etc account in
WM.

Start with a new account setup and use (e-mail address removed)
Setup the account with the correct server, port and SSL settings, (below),
save
it, ignore errors, then go back and enter the correct email address
and (e-mail address removed) or msn.com or live.com

Use the following settings for Hotmail or Live or msn.com accounts?


POP server: pop3.live.com
Use (Port 995) Advanced Tab
POP SSL required? Yes Advanced Tab
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) Advanced Tab
Authentication required? Yes (this matches your POP username and password)
TLS/SSL required? Yes Advanced Tab
