Setting up an account

[Marky Mark]

i've never used windows mail before and i only use hotmail for all my
e-mails. however i am required to use windows mail, but can't get through the
mandatory set up.
my question is: how do i set up an e-mail server, when it won't accept the
HTTP type? please explain to me how to complete the set up required to use
windows mail.

thank you,
Marky

Windows Mail doesn't support HTTP mail, which for a long time was the
only allowed access method for free Hotmail accounts.

In February, Microsoft enabled POP access for free Hotmail/Live/MSN accounts.
Follow the settings given here:
http://mailcall.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!CC9301187A51FE33!49799.entry
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.

Please open your own post / thread with more information such as who your
email account is through. Are you also with Hotmail - are you with some
other email provider?
