Cannot receive email

I set up a new Windows Live email, and I can send email, but I cannot
receive emails. I get a server error when I hit the send/receive button.
However, if I login to hotmail, I can see my incoming messages. Why can't I
see them in Windows Mail? I have the incoming email server set at
pop3.live.com.

Thanks!

Use the Configuration Settings on this page:

NB: Set Outgoing server (SMTP) to Port 587, not Port 25!

Windows Mail's new account wizard is hard-coded to reject name@hotmail.com
and name@msn.com addresses. When you enter your email address during setup,
use a dummy one (e.g., name@notmail.com). After you've finished, go back
and change the email address to the correct one.

Right-click on your error message, copy, then paste it into a reply here.
We can't do much troubleshooting without the complete error message.

Go to Tools, Accounts, select that mail account, Properties, Servers.
Make sure that "Log on using Secure Password Authentication" is not enabled.
