Windows Mail cannot be used with a Hotmail account. Your Internet
Service Provider normally gives you email accounts with your
subscription. Go to your ISP's website and look at the information about
setting up an email account. Most ISP's also have "walkthroughs" for
setting up their email service with popular email clients such as
Outlook Express, Outlook, and Eudora. If the ISP has not updated its
webpage to show how to set up Windows Mail, use the Outlook Express
instructions.

If you want to only use your Hotmail account, open your browser
(probably Internet Explorer) and log in here:
