Address of incoming & outgoing servers for Windows Mail

Does anybody know what addresses work for pop3 and SMTP to set up Windows
Mail? I've tried just about everything.

Re: Address of incoming & outgoing servers for Windows Mail

For what type of mail account? If free Hotmail, see
http://mailcall.spaces.live.com/Blog...33!49799.entry
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.
