I get hung up at the input of this information while setting up Live Mail,
what are these and shat should I use ?
 
Your email account provider has that information.
They should have a help page on their website.
If you tell us who provides your email account, perhaps someone can assist
you.

POP3 (Post Office Protocol Version 3) is a protocol for sending mail. Such
mail goes to a pop3 server at your internet service provider.
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a protocal for receiving mail. Such
mail comes from a smtp server at your internet service provider.

You setup these servers using the information that your internet service
provider sends to you.

Do you work for Microsoft. Please change (e-mail address removed) to something that
does not include microsoft.com

As far as your POP3 and SMTP is concerned you will need to ask your Internet Service
Provider for that information
 
Use the Configuration Settings on this page:

NB: Set Outgoing server (SMTP) to Port 587, not Port 25!

Windows Mail's new account wizard is hard-coded to reject (e-mail address removed)
and (e-mail address removed) addresses. When you enter your email address during setup,
use a dummy one (e.g., (e-mail address removed)). After you've finished, go back
and change the email address to the correct one.
