Need help setting up an email in Windows Mail please

Hi, I am not very computer literate, I tried to set up an email address
tonight on Windows Mail which is on my laptop, as my version in Vista Outlook
Express 2007 has been replaced. I have a tutorial to set one up in OE 2007
using IMAP protocol but of course being Vista and Windows Mail this doesn't
help any. If I go through the wizard I can't use IMAP as it says it's not
valid and won't set up the email address.
Can anyone help me sort this out please any help would be appreciated. My BB
provider is Sky.
thank in advance

Is the email account you are setting up for Sky.com?
If so, follow their setup procedure:

No the email address is for a dog rescue I work with

this morning to set it up with POP3 but still no luck.

According to my research, the domain thelittledogrescue.co.uk is not registered or hosted anyplace.

You're very welcome. Thanks for reporting back.
I figured there was a typo in the domain name.
