setting up pop3 & smtp for email

[Michelle]

I downloaded Windows Live to be able to send these kinds of emails using the
required pop3 & smtp. However I wasn't successful. Could someone help, please?

What kind of emails ?
Each type of email address has its own required settings for pop3/smtp.

e.g. Hotmail type accounts are different than Earthlink or Google or Yahoo Plus or etc...

If Hotmail, see this..

If your account is not Hotmail, check with your isp or the email address web site for the correct settings.

No you didn't. Windows Live is a suite of *services* offered by Microsoft.
Windows Live Mail is an e-mail client that can use one of those Live
services (e-mail).

And what would be "these kinds" of e-mails? You are posting to Usenet
here. This is NOT e-mail.

Oh, we are supposed to guess at who is your e-mail provider? Or if it is
even e-mail with which you need help versus newsgroups which is NOT e-mail.

--- Posting Hints ---

ALWAYS REVIEW your message before submitting it. You want someone OTHER
than yourself to understand your post. Also remember that no one here is
looking over your shoulder to see at what you are pointing. If you don't
well explain your situation by providing the details that you already know,
don't expect others to know what is your situation. Explain YOUR computing
environment and just what actions you take to reproduce the problem.

Often you get just one chance per potential respondent to elicit a reply
from them. If they skip your post because you gave them nothing to go on
(no details, no versions, no OS, no context) then they will usually move on
to the next post and never return to yours.

What is Usenet:

When using a webnews-for-dummies interface (e.g., Microsoft's Communities,
Google Groups, or a leech site using a forum-to-Usenet proxy), those are
gateways to Usenet. Despite the pretense of a forum, you are participating
in a newsgroup (aka Usenet).

Regarding error or status messages:
- Do NOT omit the message.
- Do NOT describe the message.
- Do NOT summarize the message.
- Do NOT paraphrase the message.
- Do NOT truncate the message.
- Do show the ENTIRE message (but munge or star out personal info,
like your username in an e-mail address but not the domain).
- DETAIL the steps to reproduce the error or problem.
