It is correct that Windows Mail does not send messages via HTTP.
However, as of February, Microsoft 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.

Alternatively, you can upgrade to Windows Live Mail, which does handle
HTTP mail for Hotmail/MSN/Live.com accounts.:

Connecting to the Exchange Server via HTTP is possible. But not with Windows Mail.
Is this what you needed to know?
