Re: I don't know how to set up email

Windows Mail was designed to reject Hotmail addresses as it cannot access
http email accounts.
You can either use the newer Windows Live Mail (which can access MSFT http
accounts)
or
You can access the Hotmail POP3 servers (where email is downloaded and
deleted on the server)..
the required settings are here... try 587 for the Outgoing port...

However, Windows Mail is hard-coded to reject Hotmail/Live/MSN accounts.
But you can fool it by entering a fake email address (me@newsgroup), and
then changing it to your real address (me@newsgroup).

I'm not sure what is your problem. Can you log on into your hotmail mail
account on hotmail.com site ?
Please give more details.

Marcin, if you don't know what the OP's problem is, why not leave it
to the experts here to help her, since they do know what her problem is.
