Vista - what is the outgoing email server(smtp) name?

hi i'm trying to send some files by email but because i have a hotmail email
it would not allow it so i set up a window's live email account as
directed,however to complete the process i am being asked what the outgoing
email server(smtp)name is?? i have trawled everywhere but i cannot find what
it is can you please help?

Hi,

I've not used Live mail but normally it would be smtp. then the end of your email adress i.e. the bit after the @ so if you are john@virgin.net
then it would be smtp.virgin.net

Windows Mail does not support the HTTP Servers of hotmail anymore.

If you want to add Hotmail in an e-mail client you should use Windows Live
Mail (It's not the same as Windows Mail)
