Re: server name

Windows Mail does not work with Hotmail.
Windows Live Mail does. No need to type in server names:

Re: server name

I have a windows live account but I get this error when I try to send a
message:
The host 'SMPT.msn.com' could not be found. Please verify that you have
entered the server name correctly.
Subject 'Emailing: DSC01867', Account: 'windows mail', Server:
'SMPT.msn.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error:
11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D

I don't know my server name!

Re: server name

"Live" accounts are the same as Hotmail accounts (webmail), and can't be
accessed with Windows Mail, unless you are one of the few that pays for POP
access.

You can use the newer Windows Live Mail to access Hotmail and Live
accounts.
