Vista - Help Please Going Crazy

I have the new vista with the windows mail and i had no problem adding my
aol, verizon dsl to the windows mail but i am having trouble adding my
verizon dsl with msn (hotmail) premium to the windows mail. What is the
proper incoming and outgoing code, I never had a problem before with msn
(hotmail) with outlook. what is this beta program through windows mail that
takes a couple of weeks. Any help would make my day. ajnitti@msn.com

POP3: incoming.verizon.net
SMTP: outgoing.verizon.net

SMTP requires authentification.

I got my aol and verizon to work but i still can not get my msn/hotmail email
to work. I see on other post that some how the windows mail can be tricked to
accept msn/hotmail mail. Could you please direct me in the right direction or
give m the proper steps to trick windows mail. Thank you for any help.

BTJ gave you the correct servers. Now you need to trick the dumb wizard in
WinMail so you can enter and use the msn.com email that Verizon gave you.

So, using the wizard, set up everything the way it should be, except for the
email ID use your email-ID@dummy.com. After it is all set up, go back via
Tools /Accounts / select that acct / Properties... and edit the email back
to your email-ID@msn.com.

Then, you should be good to go. Also, if you have trouble sending mail,
make sure that the SMTP (outgoing) ID is set to your entire email address,
not just your 'email-ID.'

can you please show me an example, i think i am doing it wrong. is
msn/hotmail HTTP or incoming.hotmail.com and outging.hotmail.com, Can please
give me the proper information to type in to complete the wizard.Thank you

First of all, what does Verizon tell you the servers are called?
Secondly, what was the setup you had when you had it on Outlook, before?
The exact names, etc.

I'm afraid that you are not providing enough info.

I checked my outlook account on my xp computer and it only has hotmail/msn
as a url no incoming or outgoing set up. My vista computer will not accept
the http url that follows - http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp

Windows Mail does not support HTML-based email.
