Vista Tutorial - how the heck does one set-up a microsoft.com account for verizon

Don’t know what you mean by "microsoft.com". Do you mean Hotmail? Windows
Mail cannot access webmail accounts, like Hotmail. The newer Windows Live
Mail can.

To add a Verizon email account, open Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail,
click on Tools- Accounts - Add
enter the server names and any other settings required to access your
existing email account.

don't get a microsoft.com account to set up.

If a Verizon account will do, check here:

If I worked for MS, would I be asking for help. Verizon has me trying to set
up what is similar to Outlook. It sucks!!!!! Hotmail is an HTTP account and
MS is a pop3 account. My uncle is the one of the largest share-holders for
MSoft.fyi

If you don't work for Microsoft, you will not have a 'microsoft.com' e-mail
address.

Verizon can't set you up with a 'microsoft.com' address because they do not
have access to Microsoft mail server information.

What Verizon can do is set you up with a Verizon mail account.

Windows Mail will not handle HTTP mail, BUT Windows Live Mail will. Setting
up a Hotmail account in Windows Live Mail is as easy as following the
onscreen instructions.
