Don't you just hate that! I can drive my car unless I start it first. Bummer!

Why do you enquire about IMAP?
If you are trying to set up a Hotmail account, that is immaterial.
A Hotmail account in Windows Mail will only work with the POP3
protocol, see

Use port 587 rather than port 25 for the SMTP server.

Although it accepts the newer Live.com addresses, the Windows Mail
account setup wizard is hard-coded to reject Hotmail and MSN addresses.
To get around that, when you enter your Hotmail/MSN email address initially,
use a fake one, such as (e-mail address removed). After the account setup is complete,
go back and correct your email address.
