Where do I find my Windows Mail server info?

My computer is a year old and has Windows Vista installed, if that matters.

I'm trying to hook up my Windows Live, but I can't find my server info. Any
help?

Who is your email service provider? Or to ask that question another way,
what is the part of your email address after the @ symbol?
Your email provider will typically have a web page that shows how to
set up an email program. If you need more help, tell us the name of
your email service provider.

Please be exact with the name of your email program.
Note that "Windows Live" refers to a whole suite of programs:

If Microsoft is your email service provider, does that mean you have a
MSN.com, Live.com, or Hotmail.com email address? If so, those free
webmail accounts do not have POP access, so they can't be used in
Windows Mail. You will need to upgrade to Windows Live Mail:
