Most MSN accounts won't connect to Windows Mail. A few old ones
will:

I don't know about Google mail.

Yahoo will connect to Windows Mail, but requires a premium Yahoo
account to do it:

You may prefer to download and install Windows Live Mail, which
connects to more email providers:

Google Mail (Gmail) works fine with Windows Mail. See

and

Incidentally, I would not pay good money to an ISP that I could not
get help from.
