POP3 is not a valid name for a server. Ask your email provider (who
is probably also your internet provider) for their instructions for
setting up to use their email servers. If they haven't written
instructions for Windows Mail yet, use their instructions for Outlook
Express but under Windows Mail instead. The instructions are
probably somewhere on their web site. Or, you could tell us who
your email provider is and see if anyone here already knows where
to find the instructions.

If that does not solve the problem, show us the full error message,
not just a summary of it.

POP3 is an invalid server name. You need to ask your internet provider
for their instructions for connecting to their email servers, which will
include the correct server names.

However, if you want to connect to your Hotmail account instead,
Windows Mail won't connect to Hotmail. You may prefer to download
and install Windows Live Mail, which will:

Can you post the complete error message including the error number for us to help you better
