still having trouble

[Candy]

Yes my outgoing is on SMTP port 587. Something to do with IMAP that is
giving me trouble and says it doesn't recognize my email address. I still
can't send. My choices for incoming are IMAP, POP3 and HTTP but HTTP doesn't
seem to work for me. Thanks!

Select POP3.

Repost & assuming you're trying to set up the account in Windows Mail, not
Windows Live Mail:

Use the Configuration Settings on this page:
http://mailcall.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!CC9301187A51FE33!49799.entry

NB: Set Outgoing server (SMTP) to Port 587, not Port 25!

Windows Mail's new account wizard is hard-coded to reject (e-mail address removed)
and (e-mail address removed) addresses. When you enter your email address during setup,
use a dummy one (e.g., (e-mail address removed)). After you've finished, go back
and change the email address to the correct one.

Scotty, it would have been helpful if you had told us what kind of email account
you are trying to set up, @hotmail.com, @live.com, or something else?

If the former, 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.
