Here is the trick needed, to set up the Hotmail, Live etc account in WM.

Start with a new account setup and use (e-mail address removed)
Setup the account with the correct server, port and SSL settings, (below),
save
it, ignore errors, then go back and enter the correct email address
and (e-mail address removed) or msn.com or live.com

Try the following settings for Hotmail or Live accounts?


POP server: pop3.live.com (Port 995)
POP SSL required? Yes
User name: Your Windows Live ID, for example (e-mail address removed)
Password: The password you usually use to sign in to Hotmail or Windows
Live
SMTP server: smtp.live.com (Port 25 or 587)
Authentication required? Yes (this matches your POP username and password)
TLS/SSL required? Yes

Please supply any error messages that WM gives if you fail to be able to
send or receive mail.
Copy and paste the unedited error message to your reply to this thread.

Do you have any other accounts that you need help with setting up?
If so tell us your mail provider, the bit after the @ only, and who is your
ISP?

Never post to these newsgroups with your real e-mail address, you are
inviting Spam.
 
Incoming (POP3) server: pop.att.yahoo.com
Outgoing (SMTP) server: smtp.att.yahoo.com
On the Advanced tab, change the outgoing port to 465, and the incoming
port to 995; then select the SSL option for both.
