Okay I am having problems using windows live mail as a POP3 server for my
hotmail account and my live account. I got a message saying that it
doesn't work with Windows Vista. Is there any way around this?

Microsoft recently enabled POP access for free Hotmail accounts.
Follow the settings given here:

Use port 587 rather than port 25 for the SMTP server.

Windows Mail's new account wizard is hard-coded to reject Hotmail
and MSN addresses. So, when you enter your email address initially,
use a fake one, such as me@xxxxxx. After the account setup is
complete, go back and correct your email address.
