Hello,

microsoft. I have several email acounts my question is do I have to create an
email with Windows Mail? or can I emerge an email account such hotmail to the
new microsoft windows Mail. I tried going to tools and tried to add a new
account but it asked me for the my server and I don't know what POP3 or IMAP
or HTTLP? Can someone help me please.

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

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

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