Windows Mail's new account wizard is hard-coded to reject Hotmail addresses.
So, when you enter your email address initially, give it a fake one,
such as (e-mail address removed). After the account setup is complete, go back
and correct your email address.
If entry of a hotmail, live, or msn.com address yields the 'no longer supports the http' message..then
Modify the email address and username field contents when setting up the account, setup the email account with all other correct
settings, once setup, edit/correct the email address and username fields. Additionally, ensure, you choose the option to enter the
data manually.
e..g. instead of (e-mail address removed), enter (e-mail address removed). or (e-mail address removed)
On a similar vane for msn.com or live.com > (e-mail address removed) or (e-mail address removed)
